Single-Node and Multiple-Node Scenarios
In Figure 2-3, SNMP agents on three different nodes process requests through the
same TCP/IP process. This type of configuration is possible only if there is at least one
TCP/IP subnet available for each SNMP agent running because a TCP/IP subnet can
be used by only one agent process at a time. Each SNMP agent must be reached
through a separate Internet address.
A disadvantage of this scenario is that \A and \C cannot be managed if \B fails.

Note. YParallel Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6 do not support this configuration.
