AP SNMP Proxy to SMs
pmp-0049 (September 2012)
3-3
traversal operations, which the manager uses to identify supported objects and to format
information about those objects into relational tables.
In a typical network, the manager issues these commands to the agents of more than one module (to all
SMs in the operator network, for example).
Traps from the Agent
When a specified event occurs in the module, the agent initiates a trap, for which the agent sends an
unsolicited asynchronous message to the manager.
AP SNMP Proxy to SMs
When the AP receives from an NMS an SNMP request for an SM, it is capable of sending that request
via proxy to the SM. In this case, the SM responds directly to the NMS. (The AP performs no
processing on the response.)
