Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

SNMP Terminology Summary

So, to integrate and reiterate all of this, let's summarize. SNMP consists of a small number of network management stations (NMSes) that interact with regular TCP/IP devices that are called managed nodes. The SNMP manager on the NMS and the SNMP agents on the managed nodes implement the SNMP protocol and allows network management information to be exchanged. SNMP applications run on the NMS and provide the interface to the human administrator, and allow information to be collected from the MIBs at each SNMP agent, as shown in Figure 270. Simple! See, the name is good after all. J


Figure 270: SNMP Operational Model

This diagram shows a simplified implementation of SNMP, with one network management station used to maintain three managed nodes. Each device has an SNMP Entity, and they communicate using SNMP messages. The SNMP entity of the NMS consists of the SNMP Manager and one or more SNMP Applications; the managed nodes each run an SNMP Agent and maintain a Management Information Base (MIB).

 


Key Concept: SNMP allows a network administrator using a network management station (NMS) to control a set of managed nodes. Each device incorporates an SNMP entity that implements the technology. In an NMS, the entity consists of an SNMP manager module and a set of SNMP applications; in a managed node, an SNMP agent and management information base (MIB).
