Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging 
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP 
protocol suite. Your ZyXEL Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a 
manager station to manage and monitor the ZyXEL Device through the network. The ZyXEL 
Device supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2). The next figure 
illustrates an SNMP management operation.

SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 103   SNMP Management Model

An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager. 
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the ZyXEL 
Device). 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.
