Configuring SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an internet-standard protocol for
managing devices on IP networks. SNMP exposes management data in the form of a
hierarchy of variables in a MIB (Management Information Base). These variables can be
queried individually, or in groups using their OIDs (Object Identifiers) defined in MIBs. In
addition, information from the router can be pushed to a network management station in
the form of SNMP traps.
