Overview > What is SNMP Plug-in

---

SNMP Plug-in is a network management application based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
With SNMP Plug-in, you can manage your network efficiently because most intelligent network devices support SNMP.

With SNMP Plug-in, in addition to the AMF Network that can be managed by the Vista Manager application, AMF Network devices and non-AMF Network devices that use SNMP can be displayed and managed on the Network Map.

Support Limits

Number of devices which can be monitored by SNMP Plug-in is as follows.

Note

The above shows the maximum number that can be managed by SNMP Plug-in. Depending on other plug-ins and devices, if you register many monitoring devices, you may not be able to achieve sufficient performance.

• Monitored Devices
  1000 units
  

  Note

  The maximum number may vary depending on other plug-ins and devices, so please also check the documents posted on our website.

  Note

  Set the subnet to a value larger than the 22-bit mask (255.255.252.0) (set the number of IP addresses to be 1,024 or less).
  
  Example:
  22-bit mask (255.255.252.0), Number of IP addresses: 1,024
  23-bit mask (255.255.254.0), Number of IP addresses: 512
  24-bit mask (255.255.255.0), Number of IP addresses: 256
