SNMP Reference Guide

Introduction 17

Introduction

This reference guide provides information about the Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) which

is applicable for Dell OpenManage Version 7.0.

NOTE: This guide contains information that may also be applicable to earlier

OpenManage supported platforms.

This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section,

"Introduction to the SNMP Reference Guide" on page 18, explains the SNMP

Reference Guide design. All essential Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem

complex and unfamiliar to system administrators who are using SNMP for the

first time. SNMPexperts can skim this section, and beginners can read the

section more carefully.

The second section, "Introduction to the Server Administrator

SNMP Subagent" on page 33, is a more technical introduction to the

management information base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator

services.
