Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a troubleshooting and management protocol, which

uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and servers. SNMP uses a

manager MIB (management information base) agent solution to fulfill the network management needs.

The agent is a separate station that can request data from an SNMP agent in each of the different

system in the network. The agent uses MIBs as dictionaries of manageable objects. Each SNMP-

managed device has at least one agent that can respond to the queries from the NMS. The SNMP

agent supports GETS, SETS, and TRAPS for 4 groups with MIB-II: System, Interface, IP, and ICMP.
The SNMP agent supports three-community names authentication.
