My understanding is that SNMP is designed to work on any connectionless transport service. While most implementations have been for UDP, there is no reason it cannot work over the OSI Connectionless Transport Service (CLTS) in an X.25 environment. In the diagram below, the switch C still has to implement CLTS, but if your adding SNMP to the switch this presumes you have some control over the software in it. > > - Are there any specifications on use SNMP in heterogenous > > networks.

Good questions. I think your manager has to be cognizant of all the underlying network architectures and addressing.
