Introduction
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The device can be monitored/configured with SNMP protocol via private
mibs.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the network
management protocol of choice for the Internet and IP-based internetworks.
The SNMP protocol provides a mechanism for management entities, or
stations, to extract information from the Management Information Base
(MIB) of a managed device.
The standard way of accessing information contained in a MIB file is to use a
Network Management Station (NMS), typically a PC or workstation, to send
commands to the managed device using the SNMP protocol.
SNMP can use a number of different protocols as its underlying transport
mechanism, but the most common transport protocol, and the only one
supported by AT-RG213, is UDP. SNMP trap messages are sent to UDP port
162; all other SNMP messages are sent to UDP port 161.
