SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a request-and-response
protocol that is used in sharing networking information between two or more
network entities. SNMP plays a vital role and serves as the nervous system of
entire network management system. The network management is about keeping
the network up and running, monitoring, and controlling devices in the network
using conventional network technology.
Local management and remote management are the two ways of managing a
device connected to a network. Local management demands a human
intervention where the managed object is situated. This becomes cumbersome
when the network devices are more and widespread. Managing such a system
becomes tedious and quite impossible. SNMP comes here handy to manage the
network remotely.
Using a workstation, running one or more SNMP management applications, you
can monitor and manage network devices running SNMP agent. This information
is used to establish the functioning of the network and also to identify the
problems in the network.
In SNMP, two types of communicating devices exist: Agents and Managers. An
agent provides networking information to a manager application running on
another computer. The agents and managers share a database of information,
called the Management Information Base (MIB).
This page allows you to configure SNMP parameters.
