SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the most widely applied network management protocol, provides a management framework to monitor and maintain Internet devices. Main functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices, and so on. When networks function properly, SNMP can perform the functions of statistics, configuration and testing. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these troubles. An SNMP consists of three key components: manager, agent and MIB (Management Information Base). SNMP manager is a client program operating at workstation, assisting network administrators to accomplish most network device management tasks. An agent is a networkmanagement software module that resides on a managed device and responsible for receiving and dealing with data sent by managing device. Generally the managed devices are network devices including hosts, bridges, switches and routers. MIB is the collection of managed devices. It defines a series of properties of the managed devices. Every SNMP agent has its own MIB. Once the device has become an SNMP agent, it is able to receive and process request messages from SNMP manager. Following is the page of SNMP. SNMP Agent: SysContact: SysName: Figure 7-11 SNMP Page Enable SNMP Agent and the SNMP Agent will collect the information of this device and respond to information requests from one or more management systems. Enter the textual identification of the contact person for this managed node. Enter an administratively-assigned name for this managed node. 52

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the most widely applied network management
protocol, provides a management framework to monitor and maintain Internet devices. Main
functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network
error, configuring network devices, and so on. When networks function properly, SNMP can
perform the functions of statistics, configuration and testing. When networks have troubles,
SNMP can detect and restore these troubles.
An SNMP consists of three key components: manager, agent and MIB (Management Information
Base). SNMP manager is a client program operating at workstation, assisting network
administrators to accomplish most network device management tasks. An agent is a network-
management software module that resides on a managed device and responsible for receiving
and dealing with data sent by managing device. Generally the managed devices are network
devices including hosts, bridges, switches and routers. MIB is the collection of managed devices.
It defines a series of properties of the managed devices. Every SNMP agent has its own MIB.
Once the device has become an SNMP agent, it is able to receive and process request messages
from SNMP manager.
