Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to monitor and control network
elements via a central station. Which settings in a network element can be changed and
which values can be queried is not defined in the SNMP, but rather in the so-called MIBs
(Management Information Base). In addition to several generally applicable MIBs, most of
the devices also feature manufacturer-specific MIBs with device-specific information.
SNMP queries are sent from the management station with a so-called community string,
which represents a simple access limit. Responses are only provided for queries featuring a
community string that matches a community string that is defined in the switch. Because the
community string is sent in plain text via the network, its use does not necessarily increase
the security.
