Overview

What is SNMP?
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet
standard protocol for managing TCP/IP devices.
Using SNMP, a network administrator can address queries and
commands to network nodes and devices. You can use SNMP
to monitor network performance and status; control operational
parameters; and report, analyze, and isolate faults.
Agents, managers, and Management Information Bases
(MIBs) combine to control network devices.
Agents collect management information and store it in a
database called the MIB. The agent provides management
information to an SNMP manager upon request.
Non-TCP/IP devices can be managed with SNMP proxy agents.
What is the SNMP Proxy Agent
Feature?
The COMSPHERE r 6700 Series Network Management System
SNMP Proxy Agent feature provides the capability for any
device managed by a COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network
Management System (NMS) to also be monitored and controlled
by an SNMP network management system, such as HP
OpenView t or SunNet t Manager.

Overview
