Conﬁguring SNMP Services

You can tailor router or BNX software to take advantage of a variety of Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP) services. Refer to this chapter for the

following information:

• An overview of SNMP (see page 1-1)

• Additional resources that describe SNMP (see page 1-5)

• Features of the Bay Networks implementation of SNMP (see page 1-6)

• Instructions for enabling SNMP services (see page 1-16)

• Instructions for accessing and editing SNMP parameters (see page 1-20)

SNMP Overview

SNMP is a simple request/response protocol that communicates management

information between two types of SNMP software entities: SNMP

applications

(also called

SNMP managers

) and SNMP

agents

SNMP applications run in a network management station and issue queries to

gather information about the status, conﬁguration, and performance of external

network devices (called

network elements

in SNMP terminology). The Bay

Networks Site Manager software is an example of a network management station,

and the Bay Networks backbone node (BN

) router is an example of a network

element.

SNMP agents run in network elements (for example, in the BN) and respond to

network management station queries (for example, from Site Manager). In

addition, agents send unsolicited reports (called

traps

) back to the network

management station when certain network activity occurs.
