What is SNMP?
SNMP is a network management standard widely used with TCP/IP networks and, more recently, with Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) networks. The SNMP standard includes the following Request for Comment (RFC)–compliant constructs:
The Management Information Base II (MIB II), RFC 1213. A set of manageable objects that represent various types of information about the network configuration, such as the list of network interfaces, the routing table, the ARP table, the list of opened TCP connections, or ICMP statistics.
The Structure for Management Information (SMI), RFC 1902. A separate Internet RFC that describes the object syntax for specifying how MIB data can be referenced and stored.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), RFC 1157. A standard that defines how communication occurs between SNMP-capable devices and the types of messages that are allowed.
SNMP provides a method of managing network nodes (servers, workstations, routers, bridges, and hubs) from a centrally located host. SNMP performs its management services by using a distributed architecture of management systems and agents. As shown in Figure 10.1, the centrally located host, which is running network management software, is referred to as an SNMP management system or SNMP manager. Managed network nodes are referred to as SNMP agents.
