Understanding SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) defines a standard for recording, storing, and sharing information about network devices. SNMP facilitates network management, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

Key components of any SNMP-managed network are managed devices, SNMP agents, and a management system. The agents store data about their devices in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP manager when requested. Managed devices can be network nodes such as access point base stations, routers, switches, bridges, hubs, servers, or printers.

The AT-TQ2403 Management Software can function as an SNMP managed device via the supported MIBs for seamless integration into network management systems such as HP OpenView.

The AT-TQ2403 Management Software also supports SNMP traps.
