Chapter 30 SNMP CHAPTER 30 SNMP 30.1 SNMP Overview This screen allows you to configure the SNMP settings on the Zyxel Device. The Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. Your Zyxel Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Zyxel Device through the network. The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. Figure 158 SNMP Management Model An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of components: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the Zyxel Device). 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 the number of packets received, node port status, and so on. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of EX5510-B0 User's Guide 248
