Example of a Network Management Environment

SNMP

SNMP is a protocol for managing networks. The SNMP manager consolidates
management of the operating conditions of terminals and network problems. The
SNMP agent responds with management information from the Management
Information Base (MIB) to requests from the manager. Also, a function called TRAP
can be used by the SNMP agent to exchange special information in asynchronous
communication with the manager.

Note –

The SNMP agent uses the 161 port and the 162 port for trap by default.
