SNMP

Three significant elements of SNMP are Managers, Agents, and MIBs.
Managers (software application) are consoles that are used to communicate with and manage devices that

support SNMP Agents. Managers collect information by polling Agents. Managers can also be used to send
configuration updates or send controlling requests to actively manage a network device.
Agents (software application) provide information from the network devices to the Managers. Network

devices include workstations, routers, microwave radios, and other network components. Agents are
embedded in the Dell PowerConnect W-Series Mobility Controllers firmware, unlike some devices such as
servers that require the agent to be installed separately.
MIBs are used for communication between the Managers and the Agents. The OIDs of the MIBs enable the

Managers and Agents to communicate specific data requests and data returns.
To ensure functionality with SNMP, MIB objects must be defined with the proper keywords, as shown in

Table
ArubaOS Enterprise MIBs support SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3.

read-only: can be retrieved but not modified
read-write: can be retrieved and modified
not-accessible: cannot be retrieved; it is for internal (device) use only
accessible-for-notify: can be retrieved when a trap message (notification) is sent
Defines the status of the object:
current: up to date and valid.
deprecated.: indicates an obsolete definition. It permits new or continued
implementation to maintain interoperability with existing implementations.
