Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP is the standard Internet protocol for network management, and belongs to the TCP/IP
protocol suite. SNMP was developed to monitor and manage networks. It uses a distributed
architecture that consists of agents and managers:
y 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 when significant
events occur by sending a trap.
y An SNMP manager is an SNMP application that generates queries to SNMP-agent applications
and receives traps from SNMP-agent applications.
The UC-7122/7124 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 UC-7122/7124 computer (e.g., network IP at
192.168.3.127), log on to the workstation computer on which the SNMP manager resides, and
type:
\> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.3.127 system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 Microsoft Windows CE Version 5.0 (Build 1400)
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.311.1.1.3.3
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 UC-7122/7124 computer. You may
then proceed to monitor and manage the computer.
