Chapter 14 Sys Screens; Snmp; Figure 148 Snmp Management Model - ZyXEL Communications MSC1000G User Manual

This chapter describes the Sys screens you use to configure general system, access control,
syslog, administrator login accounts and management IP settings.

14.1 SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network switches. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. A
manager station can manage and monitor the MSC through the network via SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and/or SNMP version 2c. The next figure illustrates an SNMP management
operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 148 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 switch (the MSC). An
agent translates the local management information from the managed switch 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.
