I was just wondering if 50 workstations each having SNMP agents communicating to a central server brings traffic to a network..Any ideas?

Does SNMP aggrevate network traffic?

yeah 
it does...
How much traffic does it add? that's the question really. Not too much is the general answer but it can result in a fair bit if a particular device is having a problem and generates a lot of traps.
Don't add 50 all at once; add them a few at a time and monitor the traffic as you go. Mike

if you mean in your LAN, never enough to notice. If you mean in your WAN, maybe, add slowly. I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
