4.3 Simple Network Management Protocol
4.3.1 SNMP Overview-[
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management
information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP
enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: Network management stations (NMSs), SNMP agents,
Management information base (MIB) and network-management protocol：
■ Network management stations (NMSs)： Sometimes called consoles, these devices execute management applications that
monitor and control network elements. Physically, NMSs are usually engineering workstation-caliber computers with fast
CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial memory, and abundant disk space. At least one NMS must be present in each
managed environment.
■ Agents： Agents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect and store management information such
as the number of error packets received by a network element.
■ Management information base (MIB)： A MIB is a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information store.
Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB modules.
■ Network-management protocol： A management protocol is used to convey management information between agents and
NMSs. SNMP is the Internet community's de facto standard management protocol.
