The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to communicate management information
between the network management stations and the agents in the network elements. FTOS supports
SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3, supporting both read-only and read-write modes. FTOS sends SNMP
traps, which are messages informing an SNMP management system about the network. FTOS supports
up to 16 SNMP trap receivers.
