SNMP

21.1 Overview

This chapter explains how to configure the SNMP settings on the ZyXEL Device.

21.2 The SNMP Screen

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. Your ZyXEL Device supports
SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor
the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL Device supports SNMP version
one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP
management operation.

Figure 102

SNMP Management Model

An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and
a manager.
