SNMP configuration overview
SNMP uses software entities called managers and agents to manage network devices. The
manager monitors and controls all other SNMP-managed devices or network nodes on the
network. There must be at least one SNMP Manager in a managed network. The manager is
installed on a workstation located on the network.
An agent resides in a managed device or network node. The agent receives instructions from
the SNMP Manager, generates reports in response to requests from the SNMP Manager, and
sends management information back to the SNMP Manager as events occur. The agent can
reside on:
Routers
