MCSE :
15. SNMP is part of TCP/IP protocol suite. It allows you to
monitor and manage a network from a centralized place by using SNMP
Manager software. The systems or devices that provide the responses
are called agents (or MIBs). An SNMP agent is any computer running
SNMP agent software.
MIB stands for Management Information Base. It is part of SNMP agent
database. A MIB records and stores information abut the host it is
running on. An SNMP manager can request and collect information from
an agent's MIB. Routers are typical MIB agents. SNMP agent generates
"trap" messages that are then sent to an SNMP management console,
which is a trap destination.
16. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to resolve or
map a known IP address to a MAC sub layer address to allow
communication on a multi-access medium such as Ethernet. Reverse ARP
(RARP) is used to obtain an IP address using an RARP broadcast. RARP
can be used to boot diskless workstations over a network.
