Single-Node and Multiple-Node Scenarios
In Figure 2-4, two TCP/IP SNMP managers manage an overlapping set of resources.
SNMP manager X monitors resources through SNMP agents 1 and 2. SNMP manager
Y monitors resources through SNMP agents 3 and 2. SNMP agent 2 processes
requests from both managers. The advantage of this scenario is that if \A or \C fails,
resources accessed through SNMP agent 2 and its subagents can still be monitored.
