SNMP Configuration

This chapter discusses SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for network management and

monitoring.

19.1 About SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between

network devices. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. Your VES supports SNMP agent functionality,

which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the VES through the network. The VES supports SNMP

version one (SNMPv1). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if

TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 19-1 SNMP Management Model

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

An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the VES). 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.
