Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a light-weight
protocol designed for remote management and monitoring of
infrastructure devices. The library provides SNMP support, so an external
management application can be configured to receive library SNMP
information. The library supports SNMP by publishing a Management
Information Base (MIB) that can be queried to obtain the status of the
library and many of its individual components. SNMP information can
be obtained from the library using SNMP Traps and GET queries.
For more information about SNMP, see the
Basic SNMP Reference Guide
For information on integrating MIBs with an SNMP management
application, contact your network management application vendor.
Administrators can register transport protocols, IP addresses, and port
numbers of external management applications to enable them to
receive SNMP traps from the library. (By default, the library ignores all
SNMP SET operations, so external management applications cannot
register themselves to receive SNMP traps from the library.)
After registering the transport protocols, IP addresses, and
corresponding port numbers, you can perform a test to verify that the
library can send the SNMP traps to the addresses.
