OSI and other transport protocols as necessary SNMP is a set of protocols and specifications that provides a means of collecting network management information from nodes on the network It also provides a means for the nodes to report problems and errors to the network management station SNMP was designed to allow network management station software to communicate with agents in the managed nodes The communication may involve request messages from the management station response messages from the agents or error messages alarms generated from the agents to the management station SNMP allows the administrator to remotely query existing variables from an SNMP compliant node as well as set new values Data Collection Methods There are several processes that network management stations and nodes use to communicate with each other The procedures allow the management station to systematically request data as well as provide a method for nodes to transmit error messages to alert the management station about network problems SNMP compatible network components use the following data collection methods Polling Only Data Collection This method allows the management station total control of the communications The management station queries the nodes for statistics and data transmission at regular user specified intervals A disadvantage of this method is timeliness of information particularly errors Polling only requires a regulated inter
