SNMP 3
If the customer wishes to use the Quantum Scalar 50 system with a
network framework application such as HP OpenView, or CA Unicenter,
the SNMP configuration must be defined. SNMP stands for Simple
Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex
networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units
(PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called
agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases
(MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
