SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMSs can send multiple
requests without receiving a response. Six SNMP operations are defined:
Get --

Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent.

GetNext --

Allows the NMS to retrieve the next object insta

within an agent. In SNMPv1, when an NMS wants to retrieve all elements of a table
from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext
operations.

GetBulk --

New for SNMPv2. The GetBulk operation was added

acquire large amounts of related information without initiating repeated get
operations. GetBulk was designed to virtually eliminate the need for GetNext
operations.

Set --

Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent.

Trap --

Used by the agent to asynchronously Inform the NMS of some event. The

SNMPv2 trap message is designed to replace the SNMPv1 trap message.
