Wireless Sensor Network Management Based on SNMP Protocol

Abstract

This paper proposes a network management scheme of WSN. With embedded technology and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent technology, an embedded SNMP agent is designed. The agent abstracts a WSN device to a virtual device as a SNMP management node. The main advantage is that the agent supports SNMP to manage the network, and diverse embedded devices can be managed identically with the conventional Internet network management. Therefore, the scheme can reduce the cost of network management and simplify the operation. Finally, by experiments, the scheme is proved to be feasible.
