DHCP

DHCP stands for ‘Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol’ and is a means for networked computers to get their TCP/IP networking settings from a central server. Importantly, DHCP assigns IP addresses and other TCP/IP configuration parameters automatically.

SNMP

Short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex networks. The first versions of SNMP were developed in the early 80s. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIB) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.

SYSLOG

In order to track information on events, device jobs, and packets flows, most security devices out put these events using the syslog information model. This output uses a specific format and protocol defined in RFC 3164.
