Powerline MU 7.3.9 Advanced SNMP Configuration Figure 46 Advanced SNMP Configuration 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. Note: The Powerline Modem supports RFC1213-MIB and WHISP-PLV-MODEM-MIB. Page 68 of 112
