Snmp
Hi I have doubt/confusion on the SNMP Agents.
We know that these days use of SNMP is growing more. Most of the venders who manufacture computer based accessories provide SNMP support with thier Unique MIB for Managing/Monitoring their Hardware. So, through the use of Management software, systems containing SNMP Agents can be Managed Remotely & easily. Now, my question is how many SNMP agents can a system has. Because, lets accept that every hardware vender provides SNMP agent/support for monitoring his hardware. Viz. Comapaq Storage Array HP-Printer Cisco router So, if we install Unix & configure Network we get SNMP Agent Installed. Simillarly when we install/attach New Hardwares even they provide their SNMP agents for thier hardware support. So, if a Unix box has n-number of Hardware then there will be n-number agents. If so, then how will the SNMP specific port 602 is used by all the agents. If the above details info is wrong then how is the SNMP port 602 is utilized & how different MIB will be accessed by a single SNMP agent. I mean, how the SNMP agent will come to know that there exist a MIB for a specific hardware. What actually will be the configuration(SNMP Settings) on the machine containing SNMP agent with multible MIB being supporting for unique Hardware Vender. I mean, How to say to SNMP agent that there exists some sets of MIBs relevent to some sets of Hardware. So, if there is some request then it can check the appropriate MIB for information. Can, some body clarify my doubts, & if you can provide more info...that would be great. Thaks in Advance. Last edited by S.Vishwanath; 01-06-2003 at 07:42 AM. |

Here is a start...
RFC 1157 For something a little easier to read: SNMP for Dummies - a WinWord Doc or Word Doc...when I went to first look at it I got an exception error but then Word opened up with no problem. |
