NMS login overview
A Network Management Station (NMS) runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user-friendly interface
to facilitate network management. An agent is a program that resides in the device. It receives and
handles requests from the NMS. An NMS is a manager in an SNMP enabled network, whereas agents
are managed by the NMS. The NMS and agents exchange information through the SNMP protocol. The
device supports multiple NMS programs, such as iMC.
By default, you cannot log in to the device through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the device via
the console port and make the configurations described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login.
