About This Manual
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices
connected to IP networks.
SNMP is widely used in network management systems to monitor
networked devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:
 Managed device (allows unidirectional or bidirectional access to node-specific information)

Agent
— the software which runs on managed devices
 Network Management Station (NMS) — the software which runs on the manager
This manual documents trap (notification) messages that keep the user informed of events that
occur, in real time, on each agent on the managed device (Matrix Switch). It contains sections for
SFP Generated Traps, Switch Generated Traps and Standard Traps, as well as Regulatory &
Safety Requirements and Thinklogical Support.
