1-6 Getting to Know Your ZyAIR
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ZyAIR
supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manger station to manage and monitor the ZyAIR
through the network. The ZyAIR supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).
Full Network Management
The embedded web configurator is an all-platform web-based utility that allows you to easily access the
ZyAIR’s management settings. Most functions of the ZyAIR are also software configurable via the SMT
(System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a
terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection.

Built-in message logging and packet tracing.
Unix syslog facility support.
