Using SNMP Management Console
SNMP Management Console Interface Overview
The SNMP Management Console is integrated into the Observer interface. Make certain
that you have the SNMP Management Console Agent List visible by selecting
View >
Advanced, RMON and SNMP Probe Lists
from Observer’s main menu.
When Observer is licensed to include SNMP Management Console, the Console is
running at all times. To view the Console windows, just click on one of the SNMP agents
in the List of SNMP Agents.
When an agent is selected, Observer’s interface turns into the SNMP Management
Console interface. You will notice that the menus, button bars, and main display areas
change. You can return to the Observer interface by selecting a Probe from the List of
Probes.
The SNMP Management Console interface is divided into three main sections:
