The SNMP Screen
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. Your NBG4604 supports
SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor
the NBG4604 through the network. The NBG4604 supports SNMP version one

SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and
a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the
NBG4604). An agent translates the local management information from the
managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console
through which network administrators perform network management functions. It
executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each
piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include
such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management
Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a
manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent
model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the
following protocol operations:
Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table
or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all
elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a
series of GetNext operations.

Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.

Server Port
The SNMP agent listens on port 161 by default. If you change the SNMP
server port to a different number on the NBG4604, for example 8161,
then you must notify people who need to access the NBG4604 SNMP
agent to use the same port.
Server Access

The ACS Screen
An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the NBG4604, modify its
settings, perform firmware upgrades, and monitor and diagnose it. In order to do
so, you must enable the TR-069 feature on your NBG4604 and then configure it
appropriately. (The ACS server which it will use must also be configured by its
administrator.)
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this part.
ACS
An Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) centralizes the management and
configuration of a variety of networking devices such as routers, set-top boxes,
Voice over IP (VoIP) gateways, and other Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). It
is based on the TR-069 standard.
OUI Filter
An Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) filter blocks or forwards packets from
devices with the specified OUI in the MAC address. The OUI field is the first three
