Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP)

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is designed to manage devices on IP networks by

monitoring device operation, which might require administrator intervention.

NOTE: On Dell Networking routers, standard and private SNMP management information bases (MIBs) are

supported, including all Get and a limited number of Set operations (such as set vlan and copy cmd).
