Understanding SNMP
As local area network (LAN) environments became
standardized over the past ten years, multi-vendor
equipment grew with competition. It became necessary to
manage the various vendor equipment from a single control
console. Thus, the SNMP emerged as the standard for
managing commercial TCP/IP networks.
The term SNMP broadly refers to the message protocols used
to exchange information between the network and the
managed devices, as well as to the structure of network
management databases.
BASIC COMPONENTS
SNMP has three basic components: Network Manager,
Agent
, and MIB.
Network Manager
This is a control program that collects, controls, and presents
data pertinent to the operation of the network devices. It
resides on a network management station.
Agent
This is a control program that responds to queries and
commands from the network manager and returns requested
information or invokes configuration changes initiated by the
manager. It resides in each network device.
