Figure 9-1 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

The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions.
It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.

The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be
collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status
etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and
agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
