Chapter 16 SNMP

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.

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

16.1.1Supported MIBs

The ZyXEL Device supports MIB II, which is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistical data and monitor status and performance.
