Chapter 16 Remote Management Screens

Note: SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 112 SNMP Management Mode

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 NWA). 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.

SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing information such as packets received, node port status, etc.

Remote Management Limitations

Remote management over LAN or WLAN will not work when:

You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.

The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP address. If it does not match, the NWA will disconnect the session immediately.

You may only have one remote management session running at one time. The NWA automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows:

Telnet
