The Service Settings — SNMP Agent screen allows you to set up 

an SNMP Agent. The agent is a software module that collects and stores 

management information for use in a network management system. The 

3e–527A3's integrated SNMP agent software module translates the de-

vice’s management information into a common form for interpretation by 

the SNMP Manager, which usually resides on a network administrator’s 

computer.  

The SNMP Manager function interacts with the SNMP Agent to 

execute applications to control and manage object variables (interface 

features and devices) in the gateway. Common forms of managed infor-

mation include number of packets received on an interface, port status, 

dropped packets, and so forth. SNMP is a simple request and response 

protocol, allowing the manager to interact with the agent to either:

•  Get - Allows the manager to Read information about an object 

variable

•  Set - Allows the manager to Write values for object variables with-

in an agent’s control, or 

•  Trap - Allows the manager to Capture  information and send an 

alert about some pre-selected event to a specific destination.
