SNMP Overview

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard network management
protocol, widely used on TCP/IP networks. It facilitates device management using NMS
(Network Management System) software. With SNMP, network managers can view or
modify network device information, and troubleshoot according to notifications sent by
those devices in a timely manner.
The device supports three SNMP versions: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and
lists features supported by different SNMP versions, and
application scenarios.

Application Scenario
Applicable to small-scale networks with simple networking, low security
requirements or good stability (such as campus networks and small enterprise
networks).
Applicable to medium and large-scale networks with low security requirements
and those with good security (such as VPNs), but with busy services in which
the traffic congestion may occur. You can configure Inform to ensure that the
notifications from managed devices are received by network managers.
Applicable to networks of various scales, particularly those that have high
security requirements and require devices to be managed by authenticated
administrators (such as when data needs to be transferred on public networks).
