devices on the network. Another program collects the data from the agents. The
database created by the monitoring operations is called a management
information base (MIB).
SNMP agent
Simple Network Management Protocol agent. Hardware or software that monitors
devices on a network. Data from an SNMP agent, which is contained in a MIB,
helps in network management and troubleshooting.
SNMP service
A Windows service that provides a framework for SNMP and provides the SNMP
agent that interfaces with SNMP subagents.
SNMP subagent
Cisco provides SNMP subagents to support each Cisco MIB. The SNMP service
loads the Cisco SNMP subagents and it exchanges SNMP messages with the SNMP
subagents. The SNMP service formats information as MIBs and sends this
information to a Network Management System (NMS). It also sends traps from the
SNMP subagents to the appropriate SNMP trap receivers.
Standby server
The server that takes over for the active server in what is called a failover when
(or if) the active server becomes unavailable. Cisco CRS lets you deploy up to two
standby servers for high availability. With high availability, if an active server
becomes unavailable, the standby server immediately and automatically becomes
the active server.
