Snmp Settings - ZyXEL Communications AX Series User Manual

• Get – Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
• GetNext – Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent.
In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get
operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
• Set – Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
• Trap – Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
