SNMP Management

SNMP management refers to the management of a collection of "managed" SNMP devices, which communicate using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP devices send autonomous messages to a central manager to indicate remote site events.

The SNMP agent, located within a managed SNMP device, collects messages from that device. The agent then transmits this information as SNMP "trap" messages from the individual managed devices to the network management system.

A Manager that Only Supports SNMP Can't Monitor Other Protocols

The problem with this SNMP management scenario is that it is unrealistic. Telecom networks evolve over time, and SNMP traps almost certainly aren't the only alarm messages you need to collect.

When all your equipment does not utilize SNMP management, additional protocol management applications and systems will be required. For each additional protocol used by a network device, an additional management application will be necessary to interpret different kinds of messages. This may even create the need to hire and train additional operators.

T/Mon NOC Can Interpret 25 Additional Protocols

This is a vast improvement over inferior SNMP management applications, which simply list all alarm and clear change-of-state (COS) events in a list. T/Mon NOC even supports legacy devices and propriety protocols from manufacturers such as Badger, Cordell, Granger, Larse, NEC, Pulsecom, and Teltrac.
