Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol
that controls how a management station gains information from a
device. SNMP is composed of three areas:
A set of rules that define how a management station can
communicate with a device.
A Management Information Base (MIB) that defines what
information can be obtained from the device by the
management station. Every SNMP-manageable device has a
MIB.
Unsolicited messages called Traps , which work differently to the
usual request/reply management communication. You can
configure a device so that it generates a Trap if a certain
condition occurs; for example, a power overload. The Trap will
be sent to the management station to inform it of the
occurrence.
Device is a term that is used to refer to a piece of network
equipment. Every device has a unique address that is used to
identify it on the network.
Internet Protocol (IP) is a data communication protocol used to
connect computers and data equipment into computer networks. It
is used on a large international network called the Internet, which
is composed of universities, government facilities, research
institutions, and private companies.
Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) is the protocol for routing IP
data down a serial line.
