17.4 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol from the IP protocol family
for transporting management information about network components.
Every SNMP management system contains an MIB. SNMP can be used to configure,
control and administrate various network components from one system. Such an SNMP
tool is included on your device: the Configuration Manager. As SNMP is a standard pro-
tocol, you can use any other SNMP managers, e.g. HPOpenView.
For more information on the SNMP versions, see the relevant RFCs and drafts:
• SNMP V. 1: RFC 1157
• SNMP V. 2c: RFC 1901 - 1908
• SNMP V. 3: RFC 3410 - 3418
