Note: SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
Figure 103 SNMP Management Mode
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and
a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the
NWA). 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.
SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing
information such as packets received, node port status, etc.
Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WLAN will not work when:
• You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
• The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP
address. If it does not match, the NWA will disconnect the session immediately.
• You may only have one remote management session running at one time. The
NWA automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority
when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The
priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows:
1. Telnet
2. HTTP
