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-RMONpart 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.
