4.4 SNMP Configuration
4.4.1 Introduction to SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard network management protocol widely used in
computer network management. SNMP is an evolving protocol. SNMP v1 [RFC1157] is the first version of
SNMP which is adapted by vast numbers of manufacturers for its simplicity and easy implementation; SNMP
v2c is an enhanced version of SNMP v1, which supports layered network management; SNMP v3
strengthens the security by adding USM (User-based Security Mode) and VACM (View-based Access
Control Model) .
SNMP protocol provides a simple way of exchange network management information between two points in
the network. SNMP employs a polling mechanism of message query, and transmits messages through UDP
(a connectionless transport layer protocol). Therefore it is well supported by the existing computer networks.
SNMP protocol employs a station-agent mode. There are two parts in this structure: NMS (Network
