Asante Technologies ASANTE MacCon Family Ethernet Network Cards for the Macintosh - Manual (Page 42)

Asanté SNMP MacAgent 3-3
SNMP MacAgent forwards four types of information about the station:
❏ Station Profile, including station hardware components, sys-
tem and memory
❏ Station Slot Table, identifying the network interface cards
installed
❏ Station Activity, transmission statistics for the network inter-
face card
∆
Note: The Macintosh must be equipped with an Asanté
card and the Asanté EtherTalk driver to receive Station
Activity information.
❏ Station Applications, a listing of resident applications for soft-
ware resource management
In addition, the SNMP MacAgent alerts the network management sys-
tem when the station is restarted.
