Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a network management station that exchanges data with the network devices connected to said station via bus connections by means of the SNMP protocol. An agent is integrated in each network device, said agent detecting the state of the network device and also being able to carry out adjustments or trigger actions in said device, wherein said agent communicates with the network management station via SET and GET commands. Furthermore, an error detection and/or an error notification between the network management station and the respective agents is carried out via the SNMP protocol. The method is characterized in that a further data exchange between the network management station and the respective agents is carried in addition to the data exchange provided according to the SNMP protocol in order to exchange further data content between the network management station and the respective agents using said further data exchange.
