A protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices such as routers, switches, servers.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices such as routers, switches, servers, printers, and other network-enabled devices. SNMP allows network administrators to remotely monitor and manage network devices by collecting and analyzing data about their performance and status.
SNMP operates on a client-server model, where SNMP managers (clients) communicate with SNMP agents (servers) to retrieve and update information about network devices. The SNMP manager sends requests to the SNMP agent to get information about the device's status, performance, and configuration, and the SNMP agent responds with the requested data.
