The SNMP component comprises the software to handle the communication between the FOXMAN‑UN system and a Higher Level Manager (HLM) having an SNMP interface. The SNMP functionality of FOXMAN‑UN is restricted to the Fault management functional area.

When alarms are gathered by the FOXMAN‑UN system they are processed and sent to the SNMP Proxy Agent that then sends SNMP traps to the HLM. The SNMP Proxy Agent also listens for “get” requests if there is a need to synchronize the alarm situation in the HLM after a loss of communication or a restart.

Further information on HLM components can be found in [1KHW002427] FOXMAN‑UN Northbound Interface - User Manual.
