2.4 SNMP Configuration

2.4.1 Introduction to SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard network management protocol

widely used in computer network management. SNMP is an evolving protocol. SNMP v1

[RFC1157] is the first version of SNMP which is adapted by vast numbers of manufacturers for

its simplicity and easy implementation; SNMP v2c is an enhanced version of SNMP v1, which

supports layered network management; SNMP v3 strengthens the security by adding USM

(User-based Security Mode) and VACM (View-based Access Control Model).

SNMP protocol provides a simple way of exchange network management information between

two points in the network. SNMP employs a polling mechanism of message query, and

transmits messages through UDP (a connectionless transport layer protocol). Therefore it is

well supported by the existing computer networks.

SNMP protocol employs a station-agent mode. There are two parts in this structure: NMS

(Network Management Station) and Agent. NMS is the workstation on which SNMP client

program is running. It is the core on the SNMP network management. Agent is the server

software runs on the devices which need to be managed. NMS manages all the managed

objects through Agents. The switch supports Agent function.

The communication between NMS and Agent functions in Client/Server mode by exchanging

standard messages. NMS sends request and the Agent responds. There are seven types of

SNMP message:

Get-Request

Get-Response

Get-Next-Request

Get-Bulk-Request
