Agents and management stations
Although there is no architectural reason that a system
cannot have both types of
functionality, most SNMP agents are found in dedicated routers
and other specialized network equipment that is not capable of acting
as a management station.
The SNMP package included with your SCO system provides the functionality of both an agent and a management station. A system running the software can monitor other systems and be monitored as well.
Using the SCO implementation, time-sharing systems and workstations can act both as an agent and as a management station.
