SNMP Management 1-1
Chapter 1 Overview
SNMP Management
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely
supported management protocol that provides remote control and
monitoring of network devices such as the MP/16. The following
figure illustrates the basic components of SNMP management.
Figure 1-1. Basic Components of SNMP Management
SNMP Agent
A special
SNMP agent
contained in the MP/16 interprets SNMP
commands and relays them to the managed objects in the MP/16.
Management Station
As a network manager, you are responsible for setting up the
Management Station,
a PC running SNMP management software
from which you manage the MP/16 and other devices in your
network.
SNMP Management Software
SNMP management software runs on the Management Station
(MS), and serves as a user interface for issuing SNMP commands to
all managed network devices, including the MP/16.
