Configuring SNMP

This chapter provides an overview of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and guides you

through the configuration procedure.

Overview

SNMP is an Internet standard protocol widely used for a management station to access and operate the

devices on a network, regardless of their vendors, physical characteristics and interconnect technologies.

SNMP enables network administrators to read and set the variables on managed devices for state

monitoring, troubleshooting, statistics collection, and other management purposes.

SNMP mechanism

The SNMP framework comprises the following elements:

• SNMP manager—Works on an NMS to monitor and manage the SNMP-capable devices in the

network.

• SNMP agent—Works on a managed device to receive and handle requests from the NMS, and

send traps to the NMS when some events, such as interface state change, occur.

• Management Information Base (MIB)—Specifies the variables (for example, interface status and

CPU usage) maintained by the SNMP agent for the SNMP manager to read and set.

Figure 88 Relationship between an NMS, agent and MIB

A MIB stores variables called "nodes" or "objects" in a tree hierarchy and identifies each node with a

unique OID. An OID is a string of numbers that describes the path from the root node to a leaf node. For

example, the object B in Figure 89 is u

niquely identified by the OID {1.2.1.1}.

SNMP provides the following basic operations:

• Get—The NMS retrieves SNMP object nodes in an agent MIB.
