8. Management
8.1. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to
monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. SNMP is
a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF). It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer
protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.
SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which
describe the system configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by
managing applications.
