Study Notes
SNMP Network Management Architecture
- The primary function of an SNMP Manager is to manage network devices.
- An SNMP Agent typically sends Trap messages to the SNMP Manager.
SNMP Entities and Responsibilities
- The SNMP Agent is responsible for handling communication processes and PDU handlers for network management.
- SNMP protocol entities include communication processes and peer processes that support application entities.
- SNMP Manager and Agent are examples of SNMP application entities residing in management stations and network elements.
SNMP Messages and Community String
- SNMPv1 uses six messages, with three from the manager and three from the agent.
- A community string is a credential delivered alongside a GET request.
- It is not sent from the Agent to the Manager as a response to GET requests.
Trap Messages
- A Specific trap in the SNMP architecture has a specific role, but its exact purpose is not specified in the text.
