	Setting	Description
	Transport	Specifies the transport protocol for SNMP
		communications. SNMP can be implemented over
		two transport protocol:
		TCP—This protocol has error-recovery services,
		message delivery is assured, and messages are
		delivered in the order they were sent. Some SNMP
		managers only support SNMP over TCP.
		UDP—This protocol does not provide error-recovery
		services, message delivery is not assured, and
		messages are not necessarily delivered in the order
		they were sent.
		Because UDP doesn't have error recovery services,
		it requires fewer network resources. It is well suited
		for repetitive, low-priority functions like alarm
		monitoring.
