Explanation:
SNMP is an application-layer protocol that provides a message format for communication
between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework and a
common language used for the monitoring and management of devices in a network.
The SNMP framework has three parts:
+ An SNMP manager
+ An SNMP agent
+ A Management Information Base (MIB)
The SNMP manager is the system used to control and monitor the activities of network hosts
using SNMP. The most common managing system is called a Network Management System
(NMS). The term NMS can be applied to either a dedicated device used for network
management, or the applications used on such a device. A variety of network management
applications are available for use with SNMP. These features range from simple commandline applications to feature-rich graphical user interfaces (such as the CiscoWorks2000 line
of products).
The SNMP agent is the software component within the managed device that maintains the
data for the device and reports these data, as needed, to managing systems. The agent and
MIB reside on the routing device (router, access server, or switch). To enable the SNMP
agent on a Cisco routing device, you must define the relationship between the manager and
the agent.
The Management Information Base (MIB) is a virtual information storage area for network
management information, which consists of collections of managed objects.
