SNMP
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP makes it possible to
manage devices on a network. A device that can be monitored is called an agent.
A master system sends an enquiry message to the agents and requests data, this can
be done using special applications or using Telnet.
Using SNMP you can:
… Monitor trends.
… Monitor events for analysis.
… Monitor devices in the network and their status.
… Monitor an especially important connection.
… With the intention of prevention, check the traffic on one or more network
devices.
… Configuration of devices.
