4.10 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices.
Devices supporting SNMP run a local software (agent).
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The variables are
defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB contains the variables controlled by the
agent. The SNMP protocol defines the MIB specification format, as well as the format used to access the
information over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with the device, the
Embedded Web Server submits a valid community string for authentication.
