SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol
D.1 About SNMP
SNMP management software allows a network user to remotely monitor and configure an
IP host that supports an SNMP agent. An SNMP agent is protected from unauthorized use
through a security scheme. TimeVault supports a SNMP version 1 agent with the MIB II
and Enterprise MIB databases.
The material in this section assumes you already have an understanding of SNMP. If that
is not the case, we recommend “SNMP, SNMPv2 and CMIP” written by William Stallings
and published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. This book is considered by the
community to be the definitive introduction to SNMP. Another good reference is “How
To Manage Your Network Using SNMP,” by Marshal T. Rose and Keith McClogurie. For
more technical references, see RFC-1157 (the definition of SNMPv1), RFC-1213 (the
definition of MIB II) and RFC-1354 (the IP Forwarding table addition to MIB II). All
RFCs are published with approval of the Internet Activities Board, found on the Internet
by running any search engine and typing “RFC” in the search field (or “RFC-####” if you
have the number). Two such search engines can be found at the following Internet
addresses:

Two sites in particular that have basic information on SNMP are:
The Simple Web: http://snmp.cs.utwente.nl/
