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.
z NMS: network management station.
z The agent here refers to the agent server software running on network devices
(switches).
z The simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is applied between the NMS
and the agent.
To log into a switch through an NMS, you need to perform related configuration on both
the NMS and the switch.
