7.8 SNMP
The device can be configured as an SNMP agent.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the most widely applied network
management protocol, provides a management framework to monitor and maintain
Internet devices. Main functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance,
detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices, and so on. When
networks function properly, SNMP can perform the functions of statistics, configuration
and testing. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these troubles.
An SNMP consists of three key components: manager, agent and MIB (Management
Information Base). SNMP manager is a client program operating at workstation, assisting
network administrators to accomplish most network device management tasks. An
agent is a network-management software module that resides on a managed device and
responsible for receiving and dealing with data sent by managing device. Generally the
managed devices are network devices including hosts, bridges, switches and routers.
MIB is the collection of managed devices. It defines a series of properties of the
managed devices. Every SNMP agent has its own MIB.
Once the device has become an SNMP agent, it is able to receive and process request
messages from SNMP manager.
