Does LabVIEW support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)?

I looked at LabVIEW 2014 online help for some info on SNMP.
A problem was posted in 1996 and updated in 2008.
Does LabVIEW Support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4CD3625A939A77DE852564050047D3BD
This was addressed to LabVIEW version 4.
What version are we up to now?
Version 14?
One solution offered was to get the SNMP VI from Viodia.
Why should I have to spend another $1,000 for a VI from Viodia after spending $5,000 for LabVIEW Professional?
Come on National Instruments, offer up SNMP to go with your professional package.
There seems to be a lot of chatter about SNMP on the forums.
I’m sure a lot of customers would be happy to have an official LabVIEW VI for SNMP.

I find it unreasonable to expect that LabVIEW supports out of the box every network protocol that has ever been invented under the sun. You may find SNMP to be the most important protocol on the world but for most programmers it is a niche protocol that they may have heard of but never will happen to come across in their applications. It's in fact pretty low level for a very specific purpose of managing network connected resources.
On the other hand it is not rocket science either so can be implemented by someone with enough determination on top of the native network interface functions in LabVIEW. Is it a lot of work? Yes, you bet! Is it worth 1000 bucks! If you really need it and your own work hours cost anything more than a few cents per hour, most probably too! If you can live with an implementation that is supporting many but not all features of SNMP, the link on LAVAG is a very good and nice one.

  • Does LabView support the Named Pipe function for interprocess communications

    I have searched around ni.com enough to know that LabView for Unix supports this feature but don't know about for the PC running Win 2000 Pro.
    I am trying to have a LabView program that collects data and displays it using another program (non-LabView) running concurrently. The non-LabView program would display the data in a PPI window. We would like to use a Named Pipe method to transfer the data from the LabView program to the non-LabView program. Can that be done using LabView?
    Thanks.
    SonarRob

    There is a project on OpenG I have started which does implement pipes
    access under Windows in a similar way as has been available for Unix
    already in LabVIEW.
    The library is still to be considered Beta and there is no OpenG
    Commander package yet. I actually intend to also port it over to Linux
    but that could take a while. If you want to get the library for the
    time being, you will probably have to learn how to use CVS to access
    that library on the CVS servers on sourceforge. Alternatively you can
    access the repository over the web based CVS interface under
    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/opengtoolkit/pipe/. Here you will
    have to download everything in the "source" directory and if you want
    to see some examples for their use also the "test" directory.

  • Is there any reason to use iBank 4 if my bank does not support the Open Financial Exchange (OFX) protocol?

    I just got iBank 4 only to find out it is not supported by my bank!  What can I use for personal finance management on my Mac??

    Do NOT do any banking on your computer in amounts your not willing to risk losing.
    Mac's are better than Windows PC's, but they have been compromised in great amounts, in fact so was Apple's Cupertino HQ as well.
    According to the Russian antivirus company Dr. Web, a modified version of the "BackDoor.Flashback.39" variant of the Flashback Trojan has infected over 600,000 Mac computers, forming a botnet that includes 274 bots located in Cupertino, California, the location of the headquarters of Apple Inc.[4][5] The findings were confirmed one day later by another computer security firm, Kaspersky Lab.[6] This variant of the malware was first detected in April 2012[7] by Finland-based computer security firm F-Secure.[8][9] Dr. Web estimated that in early April 2012, 56.6% of infected computers were located within the United States, 19.8% in Canada, 12.8% in the United Kingdom and 6.1% in Australia.[5]

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • " plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

    Hi,
    Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
    Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
    Thanks,
    Shyam

    Hi Linc,
    Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
    Here is what I do:
    1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
    2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
    3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
    4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
    I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
    Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
    Thanks again,
    Shyam

    Have you asked your mobile phone operator to turn on roaming for you? and if you have you will need to turn on DATA ROAMING on the iPhone by going to SETTINGS > GENERAL > MOBILE DATA and turn on DATA ROAMING. You should then be able to see the various Indian Networks listed in SETTINGS > CARRIER and be able to make/receive calls.
    If you are in India and didn't ask for Roaming to be activated on your mobile account you're stuck until you return to the UK.
    OR
    If you have a 'locked' phone that is tied to the UK operator then you will need to find a phone shop that unlocks iPhones but beware this invalidates any Apple Warranty. If you are still in the UK then phone the mobile operator and ask then to unlock your iPhone which they usually do if its not in a contract with them or at the end of the contract period.
    Hope that helps a little, Andrew

  • Network backup disk does not support the required AFP features

    I have a mac mini with two (4T) hard disks each set as target in TimeMachine. Backups have been made on both for some time. This afternoon one of the disks is being rejected as target volume, with the "network backup disk does not support the required AFP features" error.
    The sparse image on the disk that is the actual time machine target shows a modification tim of 13:09, time machine reports the last backup on that volume as made on 13:08. It seems the last successful backup was made at that time. The other TimeMachine target volume on the same min reports a last backup at 15:28
    So why an error now? What has happend in the last hour, or so, to cause the disk to no longer be suitable? Why only on one virtual disk?
    The mac mini runs OS X 10.9.4 (13E28), the disk with the failing backup volume is formatted with Case-Sensitive Journaled HFS+, the still working disk Journaled HFS+.
    This may be related: A couple of month ago  I lost the complete backup on that disk, when time machine conclude that the contents of the target volume was corrupt. At the time I blamed that at a failed backup when I had accessed the mini over ssh using SLINK when traveling. Maybe that conclusion is wrong and this is part of the same problem.
    Any pointers on how to get my second backup disk working again would be much appreciated.
    Eduard de Jong

    The error message has disappeared!
    Earlier this morning the disk has been used as target for a backup by time machine without triggering the error message. A backup 8 hours earlier has also been made to the same sparse image (looking at the folder names).

  • The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features.

    I am trying to set up timeMachine on my new mac book pro over a regular home network on a shared network drive. I have tried everything but I keep getting "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features." I am on lion with the lateset unpdate (10.7.4). I have even tried creating sparebundles on from tutorial that I have found online, but non of the hacks that I have tried seemed to work. Have anyone figured out a way around this? If so, can you share, it will be greatful. I could just buy the time capsule that apple sells but I already have a 2TB internal HDD in an old pc that's hosting my file server so no need for the time capsule hardware. Let me know if there is a way around this thank.

    Not just any NAS.  It has to support the communications protocols used by Time Machine (some involving security, some about error detection and handling).  Some NASs never supported TM; some that worked on Leopard never got updated for Snow Leopard; and some that worked on Snow Leopard still haven't been updated for Lion.
    4) Another networked mac (not a pc)
    A Mac running Leopard 10.5.6 or later.
    Are these the only options?
    Those are the only options supported by Apple.  Some other destinations may work, to some degree, in some circumstances.  Some require "hacks" or other workarounds.  Most are somewhat unreliable, and, may stop working at all on the next OSX upgrade.
    Side note. I've been seeing some online post of how some people are setting up TM on a networked PC drive by setting up a sparsebundle like this site:
    Any thoughts? I have tried some of these examples and it don't seem to work...
    Some of those may have worked at one time, in some circumstances (2 are dated before Lion was released, the other is undated). 
    Wireless backups are tricky enough to a supported destination, with all the security and error detection and handling Apple has been able to employ.   If your backups are important to you, don't trust them to a marginal scheme.
    And, in any event, don't trust your backups to a single piece of hardware or software.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #27 for an explanation and some suggestions.

  • AFP error for new hard drive for time machine The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features.

    Purchased Seagate network drive, ethernet attached to wireless router, set up went well but attempts at backup with Time Machine failed. "Do I need to erase disk and reformat or is this error message "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features" indicating some other error?

    That means the NAS drive's OS isn't compatible with the version of OSX you're running.   See if the maker has an update.

  • Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

    Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

    AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
    The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing.  Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
    There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
    If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

  • HT3275 Time Machine gave me this message after updating to Mountion Lion "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."

    After upgrading to Mountain lion, I got this message when it tried to backup to "MybookLive" network disk.
    "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
    What are AFP features and why can I now not back up to my network disk?

    I had a similar issue when I tried to do a network-share backup w Time machine when the share was on a Leopard OSX G5 Power PC.
    I think Time Machine looks for a minimum feature set support from the afp mounted drives so they can be used with Time Machine.
    Western Digital may have to update the firmware on your device to support the new afp features.
    Hope this helps.

  • The network does not support the requested encryption method

    Prior to last night, I had connected to several wireless networks without issue, so I know my computer can do it. The issue started after I reinstalled the operating system. I connected to my friends wireless network last night with no problems, using the password. My system was having other unrelated problems so I decided to reinstall the operating system since the computer had just had a new hard drive put in anyway. Then when I tried to get online after everything was up and running, I couldn't.
    Wireless networks show up fine, but when I go to log in, enter the password and hit connect, after a second I get the error message : "The network "name" does not support the requested encryption method". I've scoured the help topics, searched high and low, and tried everything. Please help

    After you reinstalled the OS, you may need to download install any Airport Updates as well.

  • HELP!!! Does LabView support a thin client or dumb terminal (diskless workstation) type of deployment

    Hello,
    Does LabView support a thin client or dumb terminal (diskless workstation) type of deployment? I have a need to run LabView on some sort of dumb terminal / diskless workstation.  If someone has deployed LabView in this matter, please provide me all the details on how this was accomplished (software, hardware, etc.)
    Thanks

    Sorry, can't call you.
    My first suggestion has nothing to do with LV. It is simply connecting as a remote client to the windows server and controlling the windows session on the server.
    My second suggestion involved writing a program which will contact the PLCs directly using Modbus and get the data from them. As mentioned, you can find some Modbus client implementations for LV by searching the web (or, if you have LV 8 and the DSC module, I think it should come built in).
    My third was writing 2 programs - one would run on the server and one on the client\s. The server program would be responsible for sending the data to the client and the client would be responsible for interacting with the user and sending the appropriate messages to the server. I already gave you pointers on what to search for (the example finder can be found by going to Help>>Find Examples and the site can be searched from the box at the top of the page, but make sure you don't search just the forums).
    In both cases, you would need to design the program and the interface for the user.
    Wi-Fi also has nothing to do with LV and is simply a way to form a wireless network. Any mobile device would almost definitely have support for it and buying an access point to form the wireless network is easy and cheap.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

  • Does LabVIEW support Mobile and Wireless Protocols?

    If it does (some or all) of these protocols, what do I need to install to get VIs supporting these protocols (I mean which packag/ toolkit etc contians supporting VIs/ functions etc)?
    Thanks for your help!
    Have a very pleasant day!

    Most of these protocals are OS-supported. LabVIEW doesn't have lower level interface VIs.
    For instance LabVIEW doesn't build a TCP/IP stream with header and stuff, the OS TCP/IP stack deals with that stuff.
    For testing the quality of such network there are special hardware (most PXI) and software solutions.
