SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol ( SNMP ) was developed to manage and
monitor nodes on a network. It is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
SNMP consists of managed devices and their agents, and a management system.
The agents store data about their devices in Management Information Bases (MIBs)
and return this data to the SNMP management system when requested.
SNMP Traps
SNMP traps enable the asynchronous communication from network devices to
managed agents. Setting SNMP traps saves on network resources and eliminates
redundant SNMP requests.

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a thirty-two character alphanumeric key that
uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to as the Network
Name. There are no restrictions on the characters that may be used in an SSID.
