3com 4210 User Manual

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for ensuring the 
transmission of the management information between any two network nodes. In 
this way, network administrators can easily retrieve and modify the information 
about any node on the network, locate and diagnose network problems, plan for 
network growth, and generate reports on network nodes.
