SNMP-RMON CONFIGURATION
GUIDE
SNMP Configuration 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.
