SNMP Management Software
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication
protocol designed specifically for managing devices or other elements
on a network. Network equipment commonly managed with SNMP
includes hubs, switches, routers and host computers. SNMP is typically
used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network
environment, as well as monitor them to evaluate performance and
detect potential problems.

all of its manageable products. This software contains a complete
management platform, including network discovery, mapping, event
manager, log manager, MIB browser, RMON analysis tools, and device
