Proxy can be defined as an intermediately device,

which plays the role of an agent in the Context of SNMP.It

works as a Virtual LAN to the Devices Which are not having

an Ethernet Inerface,Like MODEMS and Multiplexers.

By using the SNMPPROXY we can Know the STATUS of

these(MODEMS etc) devices.

When an Agent performs PROXY role,it acs on the behalf of

one or more other nodes.A NETWORK MANAGER that wishes ti

obtain the information from or control the node

communicates with the proxy agent.The proxy agent then

translates the MANAGER's request to a form appropriate for

the arget sysem and uses an appropriate nework management

protocol to communicate with the target system.
