information available to NMSs by using SNMP. Managed devices, sometimes called network elements, can be routers and access servers, switches and bridges, computers hosts, or printers.

This function is to define a community string name. An agent is a network-management software module that resides in a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information into a form compatible with SNMP.

An NMS executes applications that monitor and control managed devices. NMSs provide the bulk of the processing and memory resources required for network management. One or more NMSs must exist on any managed network.
