SNMP

Introduction

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to provide the data and services required for managing a network.

The data is stored in a Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP protocol is used to read or write MIB data. Implementation of the Ethernet SNMP services is minimal, as only the compulsory objects are handled.
