SNMP Basics

An SNMP management application, together with the computer it runs on, is called a network management system (NMS). An NMS executes applications that monitor and control managed devices. NMSs provide the bulk of the processing and memory resources required for network management. The Cisco ICS 7750 is compatible with the following NMSs:
