15.9 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. Your NWA3000-N series AP
supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and
monitor the NWA3000-N series AP through the network. The NWA3000-N series
AP supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1), version two (SNMPv2c), and version
three (SNMPv3). 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
NWA3000-N series AP). 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.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each
piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include
such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management
Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a
manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
