SNMP Network Management
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistic collection, performance, and security.
Data is passed from SNMP agents. SNMP agents are hardware & software processes reporting activity in each network device to the workstation console. The agent return information is contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled.
