SNMP Statistics
The SNMP Statistics dialog box provides statistical information on Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
SNMP is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information
between network devices. There are three key components in SNMP: the devices that are to be
managed, agents, and the network management systems. The managed device is the network
device, such as a router. The agent is the network management software module residing in the
managed device. The network management system runs the SNMP application that controls the
managed devices and monitors their status. Four primary operations (Set, Get, Get Next, and Trap)
are performed using SNMP and monitored for display on this screen of statistics.
You can use these statistics as a troubleshooting aid should you have a problem communicating with
the MultiFRAD from your SNMP manager.
