When SNMP is employed to manage CyberSWITCH systems or 9W006/9W007 SmartSwitch
Remote Access Modules, the systems (or modules) become SNMP Agents. Being an SNMP Agent
allows the system to be monitored from a local and/or a remote Network Management Station
(NMS) via the Simple Network Management Protocol. The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the
Internet Protocol (IP) are used by the SNMP Agent to provide the transport datagram service
needed to exchange SNMP messages. Thus only those systems that have enabled the IP routing
operating mode can make use of SNMP.

The SNMP Agent will process all SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) which are received at a LAN
or a WAN port. This is shown in the above illustration, which depicts a network in which the
Network Management Station on LAN A or the remote NMS can manage the systems.
The SFVRA-CFG allows you to form SNMP Management Groups. SNMP Management Groups are
a selected group of sites that are collectively managed by an SNMP Manager.
