5 Logging In from NMS
Introduction
You can also log in to the switching engine from a network management station (NMS), and then
configure and manage the switching engine through the agent module on the switch. Simple network
management protocol (SNMP) is applied between the NMS and the agent. Refer to the SNMP-RMON
part for related information.
To log in to the switching engine from an NMS, you need to perform related configuration on both the
NMS and the switching engine.
