5.6 SNMP Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network management. It is
widely used in local area networks (LAN) for collecting information, and managing and monitoring,
network devices, such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers from a management host.
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.
