Abocom Manageable 14-port HomePNA Plus 2 Fast Ethernet Switch Manual Do Utilizador

The Manageable 14-port HomePNA Switch supports SNMP through SNMP applications, 

like SNMPc or Hewlett Packard OpenView.  Please refer to the appropriate 

documentation for instructions on installing and using the SNMP applications that you 

choose.  

 

As networked installations become larger and more complex, the cost of network 

management rises.    To control costs, standardized tools are needed that can be used for 

various products types, including end systems, bridges, routers.    In response to this need, 

the simple network management protocol (SNMP) has been developed to provide a tool 

for multivendor, interoperable network management. 

SNMP is an application-layer protocol designed to facilitate the exchange of management 

information between network devices.  By using SNMP-transported data, network 

administrators can more easily manage network performance, find and solve network 

problems, and plan for network growth. 

 

 

For SNMP, the MIB is a database structure in the form of a tree.  Each system 

(workstation, server, router, bridge, etc.) in a network maintains a MIB that reflects the 

status of the managed resources at that system.    The MIB values can be retrieved from 

any SNMP based network manager.  A network management entity can monitor the 

resources at that system by reading the values in the MIB and may control the resources at 

that system by modifying those values.
