SNMP Reference Guide

Introduction 13
Introduction
This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section, "Introduction to the SNMP
Reference Guide," explains the SNMP Reference Guide design. All essential Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem
complex and unfamiliar to system administrators who are using SNMP for the first time.
SNMP experts can skim this section, and beginners can read the section more carefully.
The second section, "Introduction to the Server Administrator SNMP Subagent," is a more technical
introduction to the management information base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator services.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators, network administrators, and anyone who wants to
write SNMP MIB applications to monitor systems.
