31.1 About SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your Prestige supports SNMP agent
functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the Prestige through the network. The
Prestige supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates
an SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.

Figure 31-1 SNMP Management Model
