Designing an Snmp network application

There are two types of Snmp applications, both of which are represented as “devices”. Depending on how you plan to use the Niagara Snmp integration, you need to set up at least one or possibly both of these applications. Use the appropriate procedure or procedures to design the Snmp network, as described below.

Snmp Local Device (Agent)

Set up and use this device for creating a “virtual” Snmp agent that can expose data from outside Niagara to Snmp Managers. Every SnmpNetwork has a Local Device and only one Snmp Agent object may be added to an SnmpNetwork.

Snmp Manager

Set up and use this device for creating a “client” type application that you use to manage one or more Snmp Agent devices on your network. Under the Snmp Device Manager, SnmpDevice objects represent remote SnmpAgent devices that are configured to expose data from an actual Snmp device. You can add many SnmpDevice objects under your SnmpNetwork.
