Introduction

Connection Establishment Using NMS

Introduction
You can also log in to a switch through an NMS (network management station), and then configure and
manage the switch through the agent module on the switch.
The agent here refers to the software running on network devices (switches) and as the server.
SNMP (simple network management protocol) is applied between the NMS and the agent.
To log in to a switch through an NMS, you need to perform related configuration on both the NMS and
the switch.
