The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network protocol used to manage TCP/IP networks. SNMP-compliant devices (agents) communicate with management applications (requesters) to send alerts and updates and allow configuration changes.
The Intel® SNMP Agent translates event notices from the adapter and sends them to specified SNMP management stations. The SNMP agent provides information on Intel PRO adapters as well as information about advanced features, such as teaming and VLANs.
Before you install the Intel SNMP Agent on a computer, you must install SNMP on the computer. See your operating system documentation for more information.
To use the Intel SNMP Agent with an SNMP management application, you must first compile the Intel MIB into the management application's database. Doing so allows the management application to recognize and support the adapter.
See the contents frame to the left for information on installing the SNMP agent on your operating system.
