Section II - Advanced Management Features Chapter 1: SNMP Advanced Management Overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to communicate management functions between an SNMP manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a user program the network administrator can use to manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get information from the agent or alter Set information on the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited message Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual condition. The OkiLAN 6010e is a fully functional SNMP agent and supports any standard SNMP management platform, including: • HP OpenView • Novell NMS • Sun SunNet Manager • IBM NetView Private MIB OkiLAN 6010e SNMP support has been enhanced with a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP and IPX.
