IA260 WinCE User’s Manual Getting Started
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP is the Internet Standard protocol for network management, and is part of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. SNMP was developed to monitor and manage networks. It uses a distributed
architecture that consists of agents and managers:
SNMP Agent
The SNMP agent is an SNMP application that monitors network traffic and responds to queries
from SNMP manager applications. The agent also notifies the manager by sending a trap when
significant events occur.
SNMP Manager
An SNMP manager is an SNMP application that generates queries to SNMP-agent applications
and receives traps from SNMP-agent applications.
The IA260-CE computer installs an SNMP agent to serve as an SNMP device. You should install
the SNMP manager on the workstation computer (for example, a Linux system) that monitors the
network. After installing the nodes, you need to configure the SNMP manager and agent.
To check SNMP agent capabilities on a target IA260-CE (e.g, network IP at 192.168.3.127)
computer, log on to the workstation computer that the SNMP manager resides on and then type:
\> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.3.127 system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 Microsoft Windows CE Version 6.0 (Build 1400)
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8691.13.7420
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 1282929
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 Your System Contact Here
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 WindowsCE
You will see a series of messages from the SNMP agent on the IA260-CE computer. From there,
you can monitor and manage the computer.
