function, you do not need to know the exact variable name you are looking for. The SNMP manager takes the variable you name and then uses a sequential search to find the desired variable.

Retrieve a number of values – a get-bulkaction

The SNMP manager performs the number of get-next actions that you specify.

Change a setting on the agent – a set action

The SNMP manager requests the agent to change the value of the MIB variable. For example, you can run a script or an application on a remote device with a set action.

An agent can send an unsolicited message to the manager at any time if a significant, predetermined event takes place on the agent. This message is called a trap.

When a trap condition occurs, the SNMP agent sends an SNMP trap message to the device specified as the trap receiver or trap host. The SNMP Administrator configures the trap host, usually the SNMP management station, to perform the action needed when a trap is detected.

SNMP Communities

Each SNMP device or member is part of a community. An SNMP community determines the access rights for SNMP devices.

You supply a name to the community. After that, all SNMP devices that are assigned to that community as members have the same access rights. The access rights are:

read - Allows read-only access to the MIB tree for devices included in this community

read-write- Allows both read and write access to the MIB tree for devices included in this community

trap – Allows traps to be sent between devices included in this community
