SNMP Device Management

Introduction	The STB NIP 2212 contains a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
	Version 1.0 agent that is capable of supporting up to three concurrent SNMP
	connections.
User Datagram	On the STB NIP 2212, SNMP services are delivered via the UDP/IP stack. UDP is
Protocol (UDP)	the transport protocol used by the SNMP application in its communications with the
	STB NIP 2212.
	Note: BootP and the DHCP applications also use UDP as their transport layer
	when communicating with the STB NIP 2212.
SNMP Agents	The SNMP network management model uses the following terminology and
and Managers	definitions:
	￿manager—the client application program running on the master
	agent—the server application running on a network device, in this case, the
	STB NIP 2212
	The SNMP manager initiates communications with the agent. An SNMP manager
	can query, read data from and write data to other host devices. An SNMP manager
	uses UDP to establish communications with an agent device via an "open" Ethernet
	interface.
	When the STB NIP 2212 is successfully configured with SNMP, the STB NIP 2212
	agent and the SNMP manager devices can recognize one another on the network.
	The SNMP manager can then transmit data to and retrieve data from the
	STB NIP 2212.
Network	SNMP software allows an SNMP manager (remote PC) to monitor and control the
Management	STB NIP 2212. Specifically, SNMP services are used to monitor and manage:
Application	performance
	faults
	￿configuration
	security
