13.5 Monitor system by SNMP

13.5.1 Brief introduction of SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an important network management protocol

in TCP/IP network. It realizes network management by exchanging information packets. SNMP

protocol provides possibility of concentrated management to large sized network. Its aim is

guaranteeing packet transmission between any two points to be convenient for network

administrator to search information, modify and search fault, finish fault diagnosising, capacity

planning and creation reporting at any network node. It consists of NMS and Agent. NMS

(Network Management Station) is the working station of client program running, and Agent is

server software running in network devices. NMS can send GetRequest, GetNextRequest and

SetRequest packet to Agent. After receiving requirement packet of NMS, Agent will Read or

Write management variable according to packet type and create Response packet, and return

it to NMS. On the other hand, the Trap packet of abnormity of cold boot or hot boot of devices

will send to NMS.

System supports SNMP version of v1, v2c and v3. v1 provides simple authentication

mechanism which does not support the communication between administrator to administrator

and v1 Trap does not possess authentication mechanism. V2c strengthens management

model (security), manages information structure, protocol operation, the communications

between managers, and it can create and delete table, and strengthen communication

capacity of managers, and reduce the storage operation of agency. V3 realizes user

distinguishing mechanism and packet encryption mechanism, and greatly improves security of

SNMP protocol.
