5.1.2.1 SNMP Agent

An agent is an entity that assumes an operation role to receive, process, and respond to requests, as well as generated event reports. The SNMP agent gathers data from the MIB, which is the repository for device parameter and network data. To respond to requests, the agent must have network management information access. To generate reports, an agent must be notified of internal events.

Cisco provides both an SNMP agent (installed on the ONS 15216 EDFA2) and SNMP MIB to monitor the ONS 15216 EDFA2. The SNMP agent software and MIB are pre-installed on each module.

Figure 5-2 on page 5-3shows the relationship between the SNMP agent and the MIB.
