Architecture of PATROL SNMP

The PATROL SNMP architecture comprises an SNMP subagent that is part of the PATROL Agent and an SNMP Master Agent that is a separate, external process.

The following figure shows the relationships between the PATROL SNMP Master Agent, the PATROL Agent, PATROL SNMP subagents, SNMP subagents, and the SNMP manager. It also shows their default port numbers.

Warning

Note

Port 161 is an industry standard, while port 8161 is a PATROL standard. By running on port 8161, you can avoid possible conflicts with operating system vendors who are already using port 161 for an SNMP Agent.
