What is SNMP?
Simple Network Managemen t Prot ocol (SNMP ) is the stan dard pr otocol used t o exch ange netw ork ma nagement
information.
SNMP management requires two primary elements: a network manager and an SNMP agent. A network manager is the software running on a workstation through which the network administrator monitors and controls the
different hardware and software systems that comprise a network. The agent is a piece of software running in a
network equipment that implements the SNMP protocol. SNMP defines exactly how a network manager communicates with an SNMP agent. For example, SNMP defines the format of requests that a network manager
sends to an agent and the format of replies the agent returns.
Through an SNMP management system, the network manager can communicate and manage several different
network devices at the same time. The network manager polls the SNMP agents (such as routers, hubs or network servers) for certain requested information. The agent will then gather information about the machine it is
running on and carries requests from the network manager to read and change the information.
How does Tenor utilize SNMP?
The T enor unit su pports the SNMP protocol; specifically, Hewlett® Packard’ s HP Openview software acts as the
SNMP network manager for the Tenor unit. Once you set up HP Open view to view and “au to-discove r” Tenor as
a network device using SNMP, HP Openview will be able to issue commands, get responses, and perform certain functions. For example, you can configure the SNMP agent in Tenor to generate and send traps for existing
Tenor alarms to HP Openview.
A Tenor unit can report alarms to up to three network managers.
