SNMP Management This section describes how to configure and manage the device by accessing Management Information Base (MIB) objects with the SNMP protocol. SNMP Management The device’s MIB options are accessible through SNMP. Also, instead of defining a large set of commands, SNMP performs all operations using the “GET”, “GETNEXT” and “SET” commands. And, the SNMP agent that resides on the device can respond to MIB-related queries being sent by the network management software.
Specify an SNMP object in a network device and then GETNEXT retrieve information about the rest of SNMP objects in the device SET Modify and store values of SNMP objects in a network device GET Replying the GET, GETNEXT, and SET commands are RESPONSE sent by SNMP agent TRAP A message sent by an SNMP agent to an SNMP manager indicating some event occurred The commands of SNMP management 44
