Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP)

Network management stations use SNMP to retrieve or alter management data from network elements. A

datum of management information is called a managed object; the value of a managed object can be static

or variable. Network elements store managed objects in a database called a management information base

(MIB).

MIBs are hierarchically structured and use object identifiers to address managed objects, but managed

objects also have a textual name called an object descriptor.

NOTE

: An I/O Aggregator supports standard and private SNMP MIBs, including Get operations in

supported MIBs.
