Viewing SNMP Group Information
The SNMP Group window; disabling and enabling authentication failure traps
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates communication
between a management application, like NetSight Element Manager, and a
network device, through the use of Protocol Data Units (PDUs). A network
manager requests data by issuing a Get-Request or Get-Next Request PDU, or
writes a new value into the device’s MIB by issuing a Set-Request PDU. The agent
responds to Gets by issuing a Get-Response PDU or sends asynchronous
notification of unusual events to the manager by issuing a Trap PDU.
