Package snmp
The XML API OSS interface uses the snmp package to configure a base polling
interval for how often all router elements of discovered routers are reconciled in the
NFM-P database.
There are two ways for the NFM-P to send management traffic to the managed
network:
In-band management is done through a connection provided by an IP service, such
as a VLL. The management traffic is sent in-band along with the customer's payload
traffic. Out-of-band management is done through a management connection with the
management port of the router. The management traffic is sent out-of-band.
