This is an advanced feature of NetBotz appliances.  It is intended for use only by technically 
experienced users, such as network administrators or network systems management 
coordinators.  To use the SNMP capabilities of a NetBotz appliance effectively you must 
have extensive knowledge of how to set up, configure, and use SNMP-based systems 
management and network management platforms (such as HP OpenView, CA Unicenter, or 
WhatsUp Gold).  Please refer questions about how to use SNMP to your network 
administration and IT staff.
