 SUMMARY QUESTIONS
Q: What does SNMP stand for?
A: Simple Network Mangement Protocol. That was too easy wasn’t it?
Q: What is a MIB?
A: The Management Information Base (MIB) defines the structure and type of
management variables that exist on each SNMP managed node.
Q: What are the two major goals for network management?
A: To provide network management services at a reduced cost and to provide
reliable and consistent network performance and services.
Q: What does Network Node Manager provide to you?
A: It provides you with a map of your network, shows you the status of objects
on that network, and provides many tools for managing your network.
