NMS Login Overview
A Network Management Station (NMS) runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user-friendly
interface to facilitate network management. An agent is a program that resides in the device. It
receives and handles requests from the NMS. An NMS is a manager in an SNMP enabled network,
whereas agents are managed by the NMS. The NMS and agents exchange information through the
SNMP protocol. At present, the device supports multiple NMS programs, such as iMC and CAMS.
By default, you cannot log in to the device through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the device via
the console port and make the configurations described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login.
