26.1 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
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 c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an
SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 152 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 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.
