SIXNET Managed Switch Tour

SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol and RMON stands for Remote Monitoring. Both help ensure your network reliability by allowing network administrators to monitor and manage the Ethernet network. These advanced features are used to detect and diagnose problems and improve the overall performance of your Ethernet network. A long list of run-time network variables and statistics (called MIBs - Management Information Bases) are available to help you manage and optimize your network. The SIXNET Managed Switch supports SNMP versions 1, 2 and 3. SNMP v3 provides security through authentication and encryption to prevent unauthorized access. These switches can responds to requests from an SNMP master, or automatically initiate SNMP notifications (i.e. traps) on an event such as a link going down.
