Choose “Management”Æ“SNMP Agent”, you can see the SNMP-Configuration screen as shown

below.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has been widely applied in the computer networks

currently, which is used for ensuring the transmission of the management information between

any two nodes. In this way, network administrators can easily search and modify the information

on any node on the network. Meanwhile, they can locate faults promptly and implement the fault

diagnosis, capacity planning and report generating.

An SNMP Agent is an application running on the Router that performs the operational role of

receiving and processing SNMP messages, sending responses to the SNMP manager, and

sending traps when an event occurs. So a Router contains SNMP "agent" software can be

monitored and/or controlled by SNMP Manager using SNMP messages.

An SNMP Manager or SNMP Service is an application that performs the operational roles of

generating SNMP messages/requests to modify and retrieve management information, and

receiving the requested information and trap-event reports that are generated by the SNMP agent.

SNMP Manager is the third-party management system. Monitor one is an SNMP Manager.
