About SNMP
An SNMP v1 agent is a software component of the SNMP service that runs on these modules to allow access to diagnostic and management information for the modules. You can use SNMP browsers, network management software, and other tools to access this data. In addition, the SNMP agent can be configured with the IP addresses of one or two devices (typically PCs that run network management software) to be the targets of event-driven trap messages. Such messages inform the management device of events like cold starts and the inability of the software to authenticate a device.
