31.1  About 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 manager station to manage and 
monitor the ZyAIR through the network.  The ZyAIR supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) 
and version two c  (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. 
SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
Figure 182   SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager. 
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the ZyAIR). An 
agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form 
compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators 
perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor 
managed devices.
