SNMP Configuration 
 
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes (servers, 
workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to 
manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. Network 
management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices 
implementing SNMP.
