SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in
Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP
managers. See Viewing the KX III MIB

KX III supports SNMP logging for SNMP v1/v2c and/or v3. SNMP v1/v2c
defines message formats and protocol operations when SNMP logging is
enabled. SNMP v3 is a security extension of SNMP that provides user
authentication, password management and encryption.
