SNMP Agent screen
The Service Settings - SNMP Agent screen allows you to set up a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent. The agent is a software module that collects and
stores management information for use in a network management system (such as the
Network Management and Diagnostic tool). The unit's integrated SNMP agent software
module translates the device's management information into a common form for
interpretation by the SNMP Manager software, which resides on a network administra-
tor's computer.
The SNMP Manager interacts with the SNMP Agent to execute applications that control
and manage object variables (interface features and devices) in the WSG. Common forms
of managed information include number of packets received on an interface, port status,
dropped packets, and so forth. SNMP is a simple request and response protocol, allowing
the manager to interact with the agent to either:
• Get - Allows the manager to read information about an object variable
• Set - Allows the manager to write values for object variables within an agent's control
