SNMP Management Software
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication
protocol designed specifically for managing devices or other
elements on a network. Network equipment commonly managed
with SNMP includes hubs, switches, bridges, routers and host

traffic analysis, troubleshoot network problems, evaluate historical
trends, or implement proactive management policies. RMON has
