DHCP 
DHCP stands for ‘Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol’ and is a means for networked computers to 
get their TCP/IP networking settings from a central server. Importantly, DHCP assigns IP addresses 
and other TCP/IP configuration parameters automatically. 
 
SNMP 
Short for Simple Network Management Protocol, a set of protocols for managing complex networks. 
The first versions of SNMP were developed in the early 80s. SNMP works by sending messages, 
called  protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called 
agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIB) and return this data to 
the SNMP requesters.
 
 
SYSLOG 
In order to track information on events, device jobs, and packets flows, most security devices output 
these events using the syslog information model. This output uses a specific format and protocol 
defined in RFC 3164.
