Introduction to SNMP

Figure B-1Overview of SNMP

The SNMP agent talks to both subagents and managers. The SNMP manager (which resides on one node in the network) sends requests to the agent (which resides on another). The agent sends responses and traps to the manager. For SNAplus2, the APPN MIB is implemented by the SNAplus2 SNMP subagent.
