Chapter 5 SNMP Setting
5.1 SNMP Introduction
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for
network management. It is widely used in local area networks (LAN)
for
collecting information, and managing and monitoring, network devices,
such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers from a
management perspective.
Managed devices that support SNMP
including software are referred to as an SNMP agent, which usually
interacts with third-party SNMP management software to enable the
sharing of network status information between monitored devices and
applications and the SNMP management system. A defined collection of
variables (managed objects) are maintained by the SNMP agent and
used to manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management
Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the
information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both
the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this
information over the network.
