SNMP

SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by the administrator (SNMP Manager) to monitor

and control the operation status of TCP/IP-based network devices (SNMP Agents) from the remote site.

To establish communication using SNMP, MIB (Management Information Base) between the Manager

and the Agent is necessary.

Portbase supports SNMP MIB-I and II standards.

MIB provided by Portbase (working as an SNMP Agent) is as follows.

MIB-II (RFC 1213)

MIB-I (RFC 1317)

MIB of Portbase to be registered for the SNMP Manager is stored under the folder ‘SNMP’ in the Portbase

CD.
