Chapter 6 Logging in through NMS
6.1 Introduction
You can also log into a switch through an NMS (network management station), and
then configure and manage the switch through the agent module on the switch.
z
The agent here refers to the software running on network devices (switches) and
as the server.
z
SNMP (simple network management protocol) is applied between the NMS and
the agent.
To log into a switch through an NMS, you need to perform related configuration on both
the NMS and the switch.
