protocols:
! SNMP with public and private MIB
! Telnet interface for remote product M&C
IMPORTANT

ETHERNET. See Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION for further information.
6.3 SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol designed to
facilitate the exchange of management information between network devices. The UT-4500-A
SNMP agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
IMPORTANT
For proper SNMP operation, the UT-4500-A MIB files must be used with the
associated version of the UT-4500-A M&C. Refer to the UT-4500-A FW Release
Notes for information on the required FW/SW compatibility.
