D: Using SNMP
D.1: Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet standard communication
protocol used to manage devices over an IP computer network. It supports data
collection and organization from managed devices, and enables modifications to the
data in order to cause the managed device to change its behavior, e.g., for a switch to
turn on.
SNMP is often employed in network monitoring of routers, switches, and large banks
of servers, for example, in data centers. The results of that monitoring can then be
conveyed to interested parties, for example, via a computer dashboard.
The Nexus® 1500+ meter supports SNMPv2 communication over either its standard
or optional Ethernet ports, or over both ports. This capability lets the Nexus® 1500+
meter seamlessly integrate into an existing SNMP managed network. For example, if
SNMP is managing all of the servers in a data center, a Nexus® 1500+ meter can be
installed at the bank of data servers, and configured so that power anomalies will be
communicated to the user, enabling correction of the problem before it escalates and
causes all of the servers to fail.
This appendix provides the specific SNMP elements as they relate to the Nexus®
1500+ meter’s SNMP implementation.
D.2: Basics of SNMP
• An SNMP network links SNMP managers, also known as SNMP browsers, with
remote devices, also known as SNMP agents. The SNMP managers can then access
data from the remote devices and can also manipulate data in the devices. The
managers and devices must all use the SNMP protocol. The Nexus® 1500+ meter
with SNMP acts as an agent in an SNMP network.
• The SNMP protocol consists of standards contained in Request for Comments
(RFCs). The SNMP standards set out the rules for the protocol’s three main compo-
nents - an application layer language, a database model, and data objects. The
RFCs used in the Nexus® 1500+ meter’s SNMP implementation are listed in D.4:
RFCs, on page D-8.
