Adding SNMP support the fake switches

[optimus-kart]

Currently no support is available for snmp queries, this should be available

No plan to implement the feature in the near future. But PRs are welcome ;)

Sure let me work on it :) Just to save some time, could you point from where I could start?

Hello @optimus-kart ,

Thank you for your interest in our project.

We started a while ago to add some snmp support in a project that now uses fake switch so the technology it runs on is comptatible (twisted), i extracted the code here:

https://github.com/lindycoder/twisted-pysnmp-switch-example

It's also good to note that we're also the authors of https://github.com/openstack/virtualpdu that originates from the same place fake-switches did, so it might be worth a look for the SNMP part although it's not using twisted, which might or might not be a good thing we're open to suggestion.

What would be a requirement for this project would ideally be that it integrates smoothly with the actual switch creations.

• Probably having a snmp_service ressembling the ssh_service and the telnet_service would be cool
• the SNMP should tap directly in the SwitchConfiguration objects, the provided example has an OID store that could bridge data to these object.

It's a nice project to work on, we'll be very lucky if you do, please make sure everything is adequately tested.

Thank you!

@lindycoder Thanks for the inputs, let me look into the example you have shared, and see if there are any better alternatives, Will update soon.

Thank You!
