Dimension
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
| Table |
COMMAND | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Get | Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent. |
|
|
GetNext | Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In |
| SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a |
| Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations. |
Set | Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent. |
|
|
Trap | Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events. |
