Introduction
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) — is an application layer protocol for managing devices on TCP/IP networks, which commonly runs over UDP on transport layer.
Sky Control appliances have the ability to be controlled via SNMP. This means that the appliance incorporates SNMP agent and can be controlled by the network management base station.
SNMP agent in the Sky Control appliances is compatible with the managed object model MIB-II RFC 1213. Management Information Base (MIB) which is used as a model of the object that is controlled in the network management, is determined in accordance with ASN.1.
Sky Control appliances also support Trap Protocol Data Units (PDU). Trap PDU - is the network management base station notification for changes that occur during appliance operations. After the base receives Trap, the base sends a query to appliance to identify the exact reasons which have caused the sending of the Trap.
