31.1 About SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your
Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and
monitor the Prestige through the network. The Prestige supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management
operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 206 SNMP Management Model

An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the Prestige).
An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators
perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor
managed devices.
