CHAPTER 19
Implementing SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that provides a message
format for communication between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework
and a common language used for the monitoring and management of devices in a network.
This module describes the new and revised tasks you need to implement SNMP on your Cisco IOS XR
network.
For detailed conceptual information about SNMP on the Cisco IOS XR software and complete descriptions
of the SNMP commands listed in this module, see Related Documents, on page 380. For information on
specific MIBs, refer to Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers MIB Specifications Guide. To
locate documentation for other commands that might appear in the course of performing a configuration
task, search online in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Commands Master List.
