Simple Network Management Protocol
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication
protocol designed specifically for managing devices on a network.
Equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers
and host computers. SNMP is typically used to conf igure these devices for
proper operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor them to
evaluate performance or detect potential problems.
The switch includes an onboard SNMP agent that continuously monitors
the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports. A
network management station can access this information using software
such as HP OpenView. Access rights to the onboard agent are controlled
by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the management
station must first submit a valid community string for authentication. The
options for configuring community strings, trap functions, and restricting
access to clients with specified IP addresses are described in the following
sections.
