Chapter 25    Remote Management

209

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 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. 

The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of 

information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of 

packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of 

managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of 

accessing these objects.

To change your Device’s SNMP settings, click Maintenance > Remote MGMT > SNMP tab. The 

screen appears as shown.
