the NWA. A Telnet connection is prioritized by the NWA over other remote
management sessions.

interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) to manage the NWA. You can use FTP to upload the latest firmware for

16.1.2 What You Need To Know About Remote Management

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Telnet
Telnet is short for Telecommunications Network, which is a client-side protocol
that enables you to access a device over the network.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to upload or download a file or several files
to and from a remote location using a client or the command console.
WWW
The World Wide Web allows you to access files hosted in a remote server. For
example, you can view text files (usually referred to as 'pages') using your web
browser via HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a member of the TCP/IP protocol
suite used for exchanging management information between network devices.
Your NWA supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to
manage and monitor the NWA through the network. The NWA supports SNMP
version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an
SNMP management operation. .
