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 SecBlade card. 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 SecBlade card supports multiple NMS programs, such as iMC.
By default, you cannot log in to the SecBlade card through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the
SecBlade card via the console port and make the configurations described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login.
