What is SNMP?
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet standard protocol for managing TCP/IP devices.
Using SNMP, a network administrator can address queries and commands to network nodes and devices. You can use SNMP to monitor network performance and status; control operational parameters; and report, analyze, and isolate faults.
Agents, managers, and Management Information Bases (MIBs) combine to control network devices.
Agents collect management information and store it in a database called the MIB. The agent provides management information to an SNMP manager upon request.
What is the SNMP Proxy Agent
Feature?
The COMSPHEREr 6700 Series Network Management System SNMP Proxy Agent feature provides the capability for any device managed by a COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network Management System (NMS) to also be monitored and controlled by an SNMP network management system, such as HP OpenViewt or SunNett Manager.
