SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication 
protocol designed specifically for managing devices or other elements on a 
network. Network equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes 
hubs, switches, bridges, routers and host computers. SNMP is typically 
used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network 
environment, as well as monitor them to evaluate performance and detect 
potential problems. 

SMC provides EliteView network management software for free with all 
of its manageable products. EliteView contains a complete management 
platform, including network discovery, mapping, event manager, log 
manager, MIB browser, RMON analysis tools, and device management 
modules. SMC also provides optional plug-in device management modules 
for HP OpenView.

Remote Monitoring (RMON) provides a cost-effective way to monitor 
large networks by placing embedded or external probes on distributed 
network equipment (hubs, switches or routers). SMC’s EliteView network 
management software can access the probes embedded in recent SMC 
network products to perform traffic analysis, troubleshoot network 
problems, evaluate historical trends, or implement proactive management 
policies. RMON has already become a valuable tool for network managers 
faced with a quickly changing network landscape that contains dozens or 
hundreds of separate segments. RMON is the only way to retain control of 
the network and analyze applications running at multi-megabit speeds. It 
provides the tools you need to implement either reactive or proactive 
policies that can keep your network running based on real-time access to 
key statistical information.
