19.1 SNMP Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol is a popular management protocol defined by the Internet community
for TCP/IP networks. It is a communication protocol for collecting information from devices on the network.
19.2 Configuring SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ZyAIR supports SNMP agent
functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ZyAIR through the network. The
ZyAIR supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version 2c (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an
SNMP management operation. SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
