Logging in through NMS
Introduction
You can also log into a switch through a network management station (NMS), and then configure and
manage the switch through the agent module on the switch. Simple network management protocol
(SNMP) is applied between the NMS and the agent. Refer to the SNMP-RMON part for related
information.
To log into a switch through an NMS, you need to perform related configuration on both the NMS and
the switch.
