SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of protocols for managing complex
networks. SNMP works by sending messages called protocol data units (PDUs) to different parts of
a network. SNMP-compliant devices (agents), store data about themselves in Management
Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
The console server SNMP agent supports SNMPv1/v2 and v3. To use SNMP v1 or v2, you need to

permission (read-write or read-only). SNMP v3 requires: user name, password, OID
and permission.
