16.1 About SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ZyAIR supports SNMP agent
functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyAIR through the network. The
ZyAIR supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates
an SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 16-1 SNMP Management Model

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