on SNMP
Network devices are managed and monitored based on SNMP.
5.2.1 Managing Network Devices Based on SNMP
Scenario
Take the following figure as an example. Network device A is managed and monitored based on SNMP network manager.
Figure 5-1
A is a network device that needs to be managed.
PC is a network management station.
Deployment
The network management station is connected to the managed network devices. On the network management station, users
access the Management Information Base (MIB) on the network devices through the SNMP network manager and receive
messages actively sent by the network devices to manage and monitor the network devices.
