SNMP Protocol Overview
SNMP is a heavily used management protocol. It operates over the User
Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Annex
Manager provides the user interface that enables Network Managers to
access Annexes and their information. Annex Manager uses:
The SNMP protocol to send queries to the agents located in
each Annex.
Agents located on the Annexes. Each agent collects
information about its Annex and provides that information to
the Network Management Station running Annex Manager.
Management Information Bases (MIBs) located on the SNMP
Network Management Station. MIBs describe the information
that comes from the agents.
Figure 18-1 shows how Annex Manager and SNMP can be used on a
