Managed devices that support SNMP including software are referred to as an SNMP agent, which usually
interacts with third-party SNMP management software to enable the sharing of network status information
between monitored devices and applications and the SNMP management system.
A defined collection of variables (managed objects) are maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the
device. These objects are defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard
presentation of the information controlled by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the
MIB specifications and the protocol used to access this information over the network.
