4.2 The History of SNMP Management SNMP management began in the 1970s.Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)was developed to manage ARPANET.ICMP is a mechanism to transfer control messages between nodes.A popular example of this is Packet Internet Groper (PING),which is part of the TCP/IP suite now.PING is a very simple tool that is used to investigate the health of a node and the robustness of communication with it from the source node.The ARPANET,which started in 1969,developed into the Internet in the 1980s with the advent of UNIX and the popularization of client/server architecture. Data was transmitted in packet form using routers and gateways.TCP/IP-based networks grew rapidly,The National Science Foundation officially dropped the name ARPANET in 1984 and adopted the name Internet

4.3 Internet Organizations and Standards 4.3.2 Internet Documents RFC was just what the name implies,a Request for Comments.The early RFCs were messages between the ARPANET architects about how to resolve certain problems.Over the years,RFC has become more formal. 4.4 The SNMP Model A network management system acquires a new network element through a management agent or monitors the ones it has acquired.There is a relationship between the manager and the agent.Since one manager is responsible for managing the designated functions of many agents,it is hierarchical in structure.The infrastructure of the manager-agent and the SNMP architecture that it is based on form the organization model

The TCP/IP suite is used for the transport mechanism. The functions and services are not addressed explicitly in SNMP management.The security management is covered in the administration model as part of communication.The services are covered as part of SNMP operations. 4.5 The Organization Model The initial organization model of SNMP management is a simple two-tier model.It consists of a network agent process,which resides in the managed object, and a network manager process,which resides in the NMS and manages the managed object.This is shown in Figure 4,5(a).Both the manager and the agent are software modules.The agent responds to a any management system that communicates with it using SNMP.Thus,multiple managers can interact with one agent,as shown in Figure 4.5(b)

4.6 System Overview Figure 4.9 shows SNMP network management architecture.It portrays the data path between the manager application process and the agent application process via the four transport function protocols:UDP, IP,DLC (data link control),and PHY (physical).The three application layers above the transport layer are integrated in the SNMP process.The Internet model is concerned only with the TCP/IP suite of protocols and does not address the layers above or below it.Thus, layers 1 (physical)and 2 (data link control)in the transport layers can be anything of the users'choice. In practice,SNMP interfaces to the TCP/IP with UDP as the transport layer protocol.As the name implies, the SNMP protocol has been intentionally designed to be simple and versatile;this surely has been accomplished,as indicated by its success
