SNMP Architecture
Figure 38: SNMP Network Management Architecture
The Meru Wireless LAN System SNMP network management architecture follows the
client-server architecture as illustrated in the diagram. The SNMP model of a
managed network consists of the following elements:
 One or more managed nodes. In the illustration, the controller is among the
managed nodes in the SNMP-based managed network. The SNMP agent is resident
in the managed node. It collects statistics from the access points and combines
them before sending them to the SNMP manager via MIB variables. Configuration
information set via SNMP is also propagated to the access points by the SNMP
agent.
 At least one management station containing management applications.
 Management information in each managed node, that describes the configuration,
state, statistics, and that controls the actions of the managed node.
 A management protocol, which the managers and agents use to exchange
management messages. In an SNMP managed network, the management protocol
is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This defines the format and
