Table 20: SNMP Operations (continued)
SNMP
Operation Definition
GetNext Allows the client to retrieve the next object instance from a table or list within a
server.
GetBulk Makes it easier to acquire large amounts of related information without initiating
repeated GetNext operations. GetBulk is not available in SNMPv1.
Set Allows the client to set values for the objects managed by the server.
Notification Used by the server to asynchronously inform the client of some event. (Called a
trap in SNMPv1.)
SNMP offers the six types of PDUs defined in Table 21 on page 146.

Table 21: SNMP PDU Types

SNMP PDU
Type Definition
Get Bulk Transmitted by the client to the server to obtain the identifiers and the values of
a group or collection of variables rather than one variable at a time. GetBulk is
not available in SNMPv1.
Get Next Transmitted by the client to the server to obtain the identifiers and the values of
Request variables located after the designated variables.
Get Request Transmitted by the client to the server to obtain the values of designated variables.
Get Transmitted by the server to the client in response to a Get Request, a Get Next
Response Request, or a Set Request PDU.
Set Request Transmitted by the client to the server to modify the values of designated
variables.
Notification Transmitted by the server, on its own initiative, to inform the client of a special
event noted on a network device. (Called a trap in SNMPv1.)
SNMP is supported on all E Series routers.
For information about the modules supported on E Series routers:
See the ERX Module Guide for modules supported on ERX7xx models, ERX14xx models,
and the ERX310 router.
