SNMP Terms
SNMP uses a manager/agent structure, a database, and a small set of commands to
exchange information. SNMP terms include:
FIGURE C-1 SNMP Block Diagram Example
1. SNMP software application that implements the role of manager. Examples are Sun Microsystems SunNet
Manager, HP OpenView and IBM NetView.
2. The Management Information Base (MIB), copied from the library controller card.
3. Ethernet connection (ENET) for the library (HBC card, port 2B—public port).
4. The SNMP agent is a process running on the library’s controller card.
5. MIB data can be read by v2c users; read/write access is only available to v3 users (see “Access Control” on
page 134). MIB data is read by the customer through the StreamLine Library Console (see “Copying the MIB
Text File” on page 136).
