SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is one of the most widely
used protocols for network management. It does what its name says: it
manages network devices in a relatively simple manner. SNMP is a simple,
unacknowledged, connectionless protocol.
SNMP was originally developed to work under the umbrella of the Internet suite
of protocols, primarily in TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol) transport protocols.
If you have an enterprise management console on your network (for example,
HP OpenView or IBM NetView), you can configure SANscape servers to send
SNMP traps about events to the console. See Setting
Up Servers to Send Traps for details. |
