Chapter 5 SNMP Configuration
5.1 SNMP Introduction
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network
management. It is widely used in local area networks (LAN)
for collecting information, and
managing and monitoring, network devices, such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and
routers from a management host.
Managed devices that support SNMP including software
are referred to as an SNMP agent, which usually interacts with third-party SNMP
management software to enable the sharing of network status information between
monitored devices and applications and the SNMP management system. A defined
collection of variables (managed objects) are maintained by the SNMP agent and used to
manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB),
which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP
agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and the protocol used to
access this information over the network.
