Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes
(servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables
network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and
plan for network growth. Network management systems learn of problems by receiving traps
or change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.
