SNMP Introduction
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard application-layer protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices such as routers, switches, servers, and workstations. Its core architecture consists of a Network Management Station (NMS), which acts as the manager, and Agents that reside on managed devices. They communicate by exchanging information defined in a Management Information Base (MIB), which is a hierarchical tree of managed objects each identified by a unique Object Identifier (OID). Key operations include Getto retrieve data, Setto modify configurations, and Trap/Informfor agents to asynchronously notify the NMS of significant events.
