Management Protocol

The document outlines the concept of management protocols, which are sets of rules that facilitate communication and management of network devices. It specifically highlights the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as a key example, detailing its functionality, components, and various versions. SNMP allows for real-time monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting of network devices, enabling efficient network management.

• A protocol is a set of
rules and guidelines
that define how data is
transmitted, received,
and interpreted
between devices in a
network. It ensures
proper communication

between different
systems, applications,
or devices, enabling
them to exchange

• a set of rules and standards
that define how network
devices communicate with a
network management
system, allowing for the
monitoring, configuration,
and troubleshooting of those
devices, essentially providing Managemen
a standardized way to

like routers, switches, and
servers across a network; the
most common example of a
management protocol is the
Simple Network Management

How Do Network
Management
Protocols Work?
• Network management protocols function
by establishing a standardized communication
framework between network devices and a
central management station, allowing
administrators to monitor, configure, and
troubleshoot devices on the network by
exchanging information like device status,
performance metrics, and potential issues in
real-time, enabling proactive problem
identification and resolution; the most common

1.SNMP – Simple NetworkSNMP OVERVIEW
Management Protocol
2.SNMP is an application layer protocol (OSI Layer 7) used for
managing and monitoring network devices in real-time
3.SNMP uses UDP Port 161 (SNMP Manager) & 162 (SNMP Agent)
4.SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 are the most widely adopted SNMP
versions
5.SNMP operates on the concept of Client/Server Model
6.SNMP Manager is a Server – running on PC or Server –
responsible for running the Network Management System (NMS)
7.SNMP Agent is a Client software – running on a network device –
responsible for managing a database of variable called
Management Information Base (MIB)

SNMPv1: This is initial implementation of SNMP protocol


SNMPv2c: It improved the performance in terms of security of SNMPv1 using community strings (password)
SNMPv3: It provided confidentiality, integrity and authentication of SNMP

SNMP is a standardized protocol
used to manage and monitor
devices on a network, such as
routers, switches, servers,
workstations, printers, and IoT
devices. It enables network
administrators to collect data,
detect issues, and remotely
manage the network
infrastructure.
