SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for
managing network devices. The device supports the following SNMP
versions:

SNMP version 1

SNMP version 2c

SNMP v1 and v2c

The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage
the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information
Base (MIB). The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification format, as well
as the format used to access the information over the network. Access
rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings.
