37.1  About SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging 
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP 
protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager 
station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network.  The Prestige 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 220   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 Prestige). 
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.
