6.1 SNMP Basic Configuration
6.1.1 SNMP Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most popular Network
Management System (NMS) protocol, and belongs to the application layer of the Transfer
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack. The SNMP module is at the highest
layer of the router system. Administrators use SNMP as a main way to operate, control
and maintain the router. In order to perform network management, users use NMS
software to send and receive SNMP packets between the managed network elements
and the management station.
The basic process of SNMP network management is as follows:
1. A unique ID (OID) is allocated to the object to be managed in the router. The allocation
of OID is determined in a unified way by the Request For Comments (RFC).
2. When users need to read or modify the value of an object, the object OID and operation
type (read or write) are sent to the router as an SNMP request packet.
3. The SNMP agent in the router finds the object data according to the OID, performs the
corresponding operations, and then sends the result as an SNMP response packet to
the user.
By default, SNMP uses
