Chapter 6 Logging in through NMS
6.1 Introduction
You can also log into a switch through a network management station (NMS), and then
configure and manage the switch through the agent module on the switch. Simple
network management protocol (SNMP) is applied between the NMS and the agent.
Refer to the
SNMP-RMON
part for related information.
To log into a switch through an NMS, you need to perform related configuration on both
the NMS and the switch.
