SNMP is a complex protocol, mostly because it provides a way to encode arbi=
trary data types (ASN.1, IIRC), and has a huge list of "standard" pieces of=
 data that you're supposed to support (Standard MIB.  Then you add your ven=
dor-specific MIBs.)

You might be able to get away with that.  It would NOT be considered "imple=
menting SNMP."
