NMS login
NMS login overview
An NMS runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user-friendly interface to facilitate network
management. An agent is a program that resides in the device. It receives and handles requests from the
NMS. An NMS is a manager in an SNMP enabled network, whereas agents are managed by the NMS.
The NMS and agents exchange information through the SNMP protocol. The device supports multiple
NMS programs, such as iMC and CAMS.
By default, you cannot log in to the device through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the device via
the console port and make the configuration changes described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login.
