Management Protocol is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of

monitor and control managed devices�

of managed devices to the NMS�
3. Managed device: A network node on a managed network. For example: routers, switches,
bridges, hubs, computer hosts, printers, IP telephones, network cameras, web server, and
database�
