devices (agents), store data about themselves in Management Information
Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.

Net-SNMP package contains various tools relating to the Simple Network
Management Protocol including an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools
to request or set information from SNMP agents, tools to generate and handle
