Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices.
SNMP uses UDP/IP protocol stack. The current implementation supports SNMP version v2c.
A typical Network Management Station (NMS) runs one or more management applications in order to control and monitor managed Appliances. A node/Appliance can also be monitored and controlled by more than one NMS. Since SNMP is platform independent, an agent running on an Appliance does not need any extra functionality to support a specific type of operating system or hardware.
An SNMP agent running on the Appliance responds to the SNMP queries. Applications can query both an operating system and LogLogic product details. The following example shows one NMS managing all the LogLogic Appliances.
The SNMP receiver can be any entity capable of receiving SNMP traps v1 or v2c.
