SNMP and SMT
Proxy Agents
A proxy agent acts as a management gateway. It converts requests and
event reports from one protocol and object format to another protocol and
object format.
Your LANplex system contains a proxy agent that translates between SNMP
and FDDI SMT. It allows a network management station that is not
necessarily connected directly to an FDDI LAN to manage FDDI end-stations
on that LAN, even if the FDDI end-stations do not support SNMP. For all the
stations in that FDDI LAN to be managed, only one LANplex proxy agent
needs to be active on each FDDI LAN within your network.
