SNMP
16.1 Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your
AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to
manage and monitor the AMG1001-T/AMG1011-T through the network. The AMG1001-T/AMG1011-
T supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2). The next figure illustrates an
SNMP management operation.

SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the AMG1001-T/
AMG1011-T). 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.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of
packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of
managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing
these objects.
