SNMP-Based Network
Management
Overview
For more complete network management, you can use an external
SNMP-based application such as 3Com’s Transcend Network Control
Services or another network management application. You access
external applications through an Ethernet port using an IP interface.
Figure 2 shows an example of a Device View screen.

Key Concepts
This section describes the relationship between the methods of
management access described in the previous sections and how they fit
into established networking protocols. It also introduces the concepts of
in-band and out-of-band management using IP.
OSI Protocols Management and administration on the system occur through the layers
of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
