WR3000 4-Port Wireless DSL/Cable Router

13.6 Configuring SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your WR3000 Wireless Router supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the WR3000 Wireless Router through the network. The WR3000 Wireless Router supports SNMP version one (SNMPvl) and version two c (SNMPv2c).

The next fi gure illustrates an SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is confi gured.

An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.

An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the WR3000 Wireless Router). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.

The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that defi ne each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include the number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.

GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPvl, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.

Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.

Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
