SNMP Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the protocol for network devices management. It is largely used to manage routers, hubs, etc...
SNMP is the result of an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) working group and is following the standardization process.
SNMP was designed for management tasks and is not limited to network devices. SNMP provides semantics for management tasks. Each device to be managed provides a so-called SNMP agent, the variables and their properties are described using a MIB (Management Information Base). The MIB is used by the SNMP manager to manage the device.
The SNMP manager is able to discover all devices in the network and then to browse the contents of each MIB device. The network manager is then able to set up and manage devices remotely.
Our bet is that SNMP will soon become the standard for Firewall management as it is for all other network devices. With SNMP manageable firewalls technology, anyone can set up and maintain a secure network using any SNMP manager.
We want to promote SNMP for every management task, that's why we launch with ACTANE Controller the "Managed By SNMP" logo which can be used for any product complying with The "Managed By SNMP" logo Charter :
