SNMP MIB Installation and Configuration
This chapter explains how to read and understand SNMP MIB as it relates to the Cisco
ONS 15216 EDFA2. This chapter is a reference of all ONS 15216 EDFA2 SNMP commands that are
used in a network management system (NMS). For provisioning the ONS 15216 EDFA2, see

5.1 SNMP Overview

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer communication protocol that
allows network devices to retrieve and modify the value of management information, as well as provide
event notification to a NMS.
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 SNMP implementation uses proprietary and standard Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) MIBs to convey inventory, fault, and performance management information.
SNMP allows limited management of the ONS 15216 EDFA2 by a generic, third-party SNMP manager
(for example, HP OpenView Network Node manager [NNM] or Open Systems Interconnection [OSI]
NetExpert).
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 supports SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP Version 2c (SNMPv2c)
protocols.

5.1.1 SNMP Components

An SNMP-managed network consists of three primary components:
•
•
•
A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on an SNMP-managed
network. Managed devices collect and store management information and use SNMP to make this
information available to management systems that use SNMP. Managed devices include routers, access
servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, and network elements such as the ONS 15216 EDFA2.
