NMS login

NMS login overview

An 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. At present, the device supports
multiple NMS programs.
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.
