Do you want to crack interview on NMS? Well, you are at right place then J FAQs on NMS (mainly NMS with SNMP):- What is NMS? => It’s a Network Management system which  manages the network nodes like routers, switches, access nodes, servers, hosts and many more. NMS is mainly concerned with how the network nodes are tied up together and hence manage them in terms of networks rather than managing individual nodes. NMS is 3 rd layer in TMN architecture. What are the most common protocols used by NMS to communicate with the nodes? =>SNMP,CORBA,TL1,SSH,Telnet e.tc Which transport layer protocol is used by SNMP? What are the ports used? => SNMP normally uses UDP protocol. NMS uses port 161 to communicate with the agent and listens to port 162 for the traps sent by the agents.
