Cisco MGX 8220 Management Through SNMP
The Cisco MGX 8220 shelf provides the ability to manage the shelf through Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) commands. These commands are issued from an SNMP Manager, which
accesses the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf either through the Ethernet port, the control port, or in-band
connection.
Each ASC and service module in the shelf contains an SNMP agent and a Management Information
