SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely
used network monitoring and control protocol. Network
supervisors can use SNMP to monitor the Router using
network management systems.
Data is passed from an SNMP agent, such as the Router,
to the workstation console used to oversee the network.
The Router then returns information contained in a
Management Information Base (MIB), a data structure that
defines what is obtainable from the device and what can
be controlled.
SNMP functions, such as statistics, configuration, and
device information, are not available without third-party
management software. The Router is compatible with all
HP OpenView compliant software.
