The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol for managing and monitoring network devices. It is an application layer protocol that enables network administrators to manage network performance, troubleshoot network problems, and configure network devices. SNMP is based on a client-server model, where the SNMP agent runs on the managed device and the SNMP manager runs on the network management system. The SNMP manager can query the SNMP agent for information about the device, such as its status, performance, and configuration. SNMP is used in a variety of networks, including enterprise networks, service provider networks, and home networks. It is also used in industrial automation and control systems. SNMP is an open standard, and is supported by a wide range of vendors, including Cisco, Juniper, HP, IBM, and Microsoft. It is also supported by many open source projects, such as OpenNMS, LibreNMS, and Zabbix. Show Less Read more
