SNMP
21.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to configure the SNMP settings on the LTE Device.
21.2 The SNMP Screen
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. Your LTE Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a
manager station to manage and monitor the LTE Device through the network. The LTE Device
supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an
SNMP management operation.

SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the LTE Device). An
agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform
network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed
devices.
