SYSTEM UTILIZING A NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL FOR DUAL LOCAL/REMOTE NETWORK ACCESS

摘要

A network dual access system (20) and method for accessing a network/dual/access programmable device (30) in a dual local/remote mode by using a network/dual/access programmable device (30). The network/dual/access programmable device (30) in the preferred embodiment comprises a local/remote Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent (36) configured to interact with the local/remote/interface device (25) in the dual local/remote access mode utilizing a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In alternative embodiment of the present invention, the network/dual/access programmable device (30) comprises a local/remote Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) Agent configured to interact with the local/remote/interface programmable device (25) in the dual local/remote access mode utilizing a Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP).
