Entities are SNMP-enabled network elements. Agents are managed objects and managers can manage agents via SNMP. Managers must know agents' security information for SNMP access. HiliSoft MIB Browser keeps a set of entity settings including SNMP parameters and agent's security configuration in an Entity.
