Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP belongs to the TCP/IP protocol suite and is the Internet standard protocol for network
management. SNMP was developed to monitor and manage networks. It uses a distributed
architecture that consists of agents and managers:
y
The SNMP agent is an application that monitors network traffic. It responds to queries from
SNMP manager applications. It also sends traps to notify the manager of significant events.
y
The SNMP manager is an application that sends queries to SNMP agents and receives traps
from SNMP agents.
The UC-7400-CE computer installs an SNMP agent to serve as an SNMP device. You should
install the SNMP manager on the workstation computer (for example, a Linux system) that
monitors the network. After installing the nodes, you need to configure the SNMP manager and
agent.
To check SNMP agent capabilities on a target UC-7400-CE computer (e.g, network IP address of
192.168.3.127), log on to the workstation (e.g., a Linux-based computer) on which the SNMP
manager resides and then type:
\> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.3.127 system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 Microsoft Windows CE Version 5.0 (Build 1400)
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8691.13.7420
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 1282929
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 Your System Contact Here
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 WindowsCE
You will see a series of messages from the SNMP agent on the UC-7400-CE computer. You will
then be able to monitor and manage the computer.
