Program Plan Intro

SNMP:

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most commonly used network management protocol. SNMP devices include a router, switch, server, and so on.

  • Each SNMP device has a mediator that gathers all the information and process the messages. Then the information is stored in a database called as the Management Information Base (MIB).
  • With network management software, the network manager can have access to the MIB database and send control messages to an individual device or group of devices.
  • A network manager can also request them to report their information in the MIB.

RMON:

  • Remote Monitoring (RMON) is used for monitoring the equipment.
  • RMON SNMP software allows MIB information to be stored on the device itself or the MIB information is to be distributed on RMON probes.
  • RMON probes help to store MIB information nearer to the devices. So, the data are not transmitted to the central server.
  • Therefore, RMON only generates MIB information when there is a request from the network and it reduces network traffic.
