Figure 24 SNMP Configuration The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a TCP/IP application layer protocol that allows the exchange of management information between network devices. SNMP enables you to manage network performance and troubleshoot and solve network problems. To manage a module, SNMP supports the set command, which instructs the agent to change the data that manages the module. To monitor a network element, SNMP supports: ◦ the get command, which instructs the agent to send information about the module to the manager in the NMS. ◦ traversal operations, which the manager uses to identify supported objects and to format information about those objects into relational tables. In a typical Canopy network, the manager issues these commands to the agents of more than one module. When a specified event occurs in the module, the agent initiates a trap, for which the agent sends an unsolicited asynchronous message to the manager. Select Apply. NOTE: Page 44 of 112

What is SNMP?
The
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
is a TCP/IP application layer protocol
that allows the exchange of management information between network devices. SNMP
enables you to manage network performance and troubleshoot and solve network
problems.
To manage a module, SNMP supports the
set
command, which instructs the agent to
change the data that manages the module.
To monitor a network element, SNMP supports:
the
get
command, which instructs the agent to send information about the
module to the manager in the NMS.
traversal operations, which the manager uses to identify supported objects and to
format information about those objects into relational tables.
In a typical Canopy network, the manager issues these commands to the agents of more
than one module.
When a specified event occurs in the module, the agent initiates a trap, for which the
agent sends an unsolicited asynchronous message to the manager.
