4.8 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol for managing
devices on a network. It is commonly used for network administrators to communicate
with multiple devices (hub, switch, router ……) for configuring and monitoring while
convenient for troubleshooting but no miscellaneous platform consideration.
The built-in SNMP is an agent, which watches the status of it self. The Network
Management Station (A computer attached to network with SNMP management program
well installed) can be used to access it.
