User Guide: SNMP plug-in version 2.9.1 for VST-APL

Device Tree View



"Device Tree View" shows the monitored network components hierarchically.

Tree View

SNMP Plug-in classifies the network elements to monitor into the following categories. They are collectively referred to as "Node". As the SNMP Plug-in monitor the network per node, you can track the network status for each subnet as well as for each device. You can perform operations such as reviewing information per node.
Note
"Node" in the SNMP Plug-in's context has nothing to do with the Node for an "AMF Node".
