syslog, administrator login accounts and management IP settings.
16.1 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network switches. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite. A
manager station can manage and monitor the system through the network via SNMP version
one (SNMPv1) and/or SNMP version 2c. The next figure illustrates an SNMP management
operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
Figure 356 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 switch (the system). An
agent translates the local management information from the managed switch 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.
