Polycom CMA System SNMP

This chapter provides a discussion of the Polycom

®

 Converged Management 

Application™ (CMA®) SNMP support. It includes these topics:
•

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a TCP/IP-based 

communication protocol that allows network management systems to manage 

resources across a network. 
SNMP communication takes place between the management system and 

SNMP agents, which are the hardware and software that the management 

system monitors. An agent collects and stores local system information and 

makes this information available to the management system via SNMP.
The CMA system software includes an SNMP agent. It translates local system 

information into the format defined by the MIB. 
The CMA system resides on a Polycom-branded Dell server. The Dell server 

software also includes an SNMP agent and MIB. However, the CMA system 

acts as a proxy agent to forward the Dell server MIB alarms and alerts, so the 

management system does not need to be configured to receive information 

directly from the Dell server MIB.
