6.20 SNMP

Configuration

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage

nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP

enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network

problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems learn of

problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing

SNMP.
