SNMP Settings
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has been widely applied in the computer networks currently, which is used for
ensuring the transmission of the management information between two nodes. In this way, network administrators can easily
search and modify the information on any node on the network. Meanwhile, they can locate faults promptly and implement
the fault diagnosis, capacity planning and report generating.
An
SNMP Agent
is an application running on the router that performs the operational role of receiving and processing SNMP
messages, sending responses to the SNMP manager, and sending traps when an event occurs. So a router contains SNMP
“agent” software can be monitored and/or controlled by SNMP Manager using SNMP messages.
