Interface SnmpContext

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, SnmpAsyncOperations, SnmpOperationFactory, SnmpOperations

public interface SnmpContext
extends SnmpOperationFactory, SnmpOperations, SnmpAsyncOperations, Closeable

A context for performing SNMP operations with an SNMP agent.

A context is a lightweight object that represents a single SNMP agent on a network. Implementations may be designed such that a single provider object is shared by many context objects.

A context is obtained from an SnmpFactory. When the context is no longer used, the close() method should be called to release any provider resources associated with the context.
