Objectives
Master the operation principle of
SNMP
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
Basic Concepts of SNMP
SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol
Used to ensure management information is transferred betwee
n any two points
Only requires unconfirmed transport layer protocol UDP
SNMP is independent of the managed equipment. Both the IP
device (e.g. router and bridge) and the ATM equipment can be
managed with SNMP
SNMP V1 is most widely used

MIB (Management Information Base )
MIB, the Management Information Base, is an abstract
collection of all managed objects
Organized in tree structure, MIB is also called MIB tree
Each managed object corresponds with a leaf node of the tree
NM implements the management for equipment by reading/wri
ting managed object in MIB
Identity Authentication and Access Mode of
SNMP V1
SNMP community is the collection of a SNMP agent where
identity authentication and access authorization have been
defined and a group of SNMP managers
Identity authentication: checking the community name
Access mode: read-only and read-write
