Figure 49 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 ZyXEL
Device). 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 ZyXEL Device will disconnect the session immediately.
• You may only have one remote management session running at one time. The ZyXEL
Device 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:
1. Telnet
2. HTTP
System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds).
The ZyXEL Device automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for
longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics
screen is polling. You can change the timeout period in the SYSTEM screen.
