What is SNMP?
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet
standard protocol for managing TCP/IP devices.
Using SNMP, a network administrator can address queries and
commands to network nodes and devices. You can use SNMP
to monitor network performance and status; control operational
parameters; and report, analyze, and isolate faults.
Agents, managers, and Management Information Bases
(MIBs) combine to control network devices.
Agents collect management information and store it in a
database called the MIB. The agent provides management
information to an SNMP manager upon request.
Non-TCP/IP devices can be managed with SNMP proxy agents.
What is the SNMP Proxy Agent
Feature?
The COMSPHEREr 6700 Series Network Management System
SNMP Proxy Agent feature provides the capability for any
device managed by a COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network
Management System (NMS) to also be monitored and controlled
by an SNMP network management system, such as HP
OpenViewt or SunNett Manager.
