SNMP Reference Guide

Introduction

This reference guide provides information about the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Management Information Base (MIB) which is applicable for Dell OpenManage Version 7.

NOTE: This guide contains information that may also be applicable to earlier OpenManage

supported platforms.

This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section, Introduction to the SNMP Reference

Guide, explains the SNMP Reference Guide design. All essential Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem complex and unfamiliar to

system administrators who are using SNMP for the first time. SNMP experts can skim this section, and

beginners can read the section more carefully.

The second section, Introduction to the Server Administrator SNMP Subagent, is a more technical

introduction to the management information base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator services.
