6700-A2-GB20-30
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet standard protocol
for managing TCP/IP devices.
Using SNMP, a network administrator can address queries and commands to
network nodes and devices. SNMP can be used to:
Monitor network performance and status
Control operational parameters
Report, analyze, and isolate faults
Agents, managers, and Management Information Bases (MIBs) combine to
control network devices.
Agents collect management information and store in a database called the MIB.
The agent provides management information to an SNMP manager upon
request.
Non-TCP/IP devices can be managed with SNMP proxy agents.
The COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network Management System SNMP Proxy
Agent feature provides the capability for any device managed by a COMSPHERE
6700 Series Network Management System (NMS) to also be monitored and
controlled by an SNMP network management system, such as HP OpenView.
