A de-facto standard for managing network devices and for collecting statistics, performance details and security.
A set of network communication specifications that cover all the basics of network management. It is a simple and expandable protocol designed to give the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling, setting terminal values, and monitoring network events. It is comprised of three elements, an MIB, a manager, and the agents. The manager is located on the host computer on the network. Its role is to poll the agents and request information concerning the networks status. Agents run off each network node and collect network and terminal information as specified in the MIB.
A network management communications protocol originally developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for use on a TCP/IP network. Has been expanded for general use in managing distributed network devices and applications.
A communication protocol for managing objects on a network. LanSafe uses SNMP to communicate with UPSs on a network. For serial communications, see Serial Communication.
A network protocol that allows administrators to monitor server processes remotely on SNMP-compatible servers through the use of SNMP station software.
Protocol used to monitor routers and attached networks. Information on devices managed is defined and stored in the application's Management Information Base (MIB).
SNMP allows a TCP/IP host running an SNMP application to query other nodes for network-related statistics and error conditions. The other hosts, which provide SNMP agents, respond to these queries and allow a single host to gather network statistics from many other network nodes.
A protocol used to manage and monitor networks based on TCP/IP.
SNMP A network management tool that is used to manage customer network equipment and processes. Usually graphic on an x-window display.
An application-level protocol used to monitor and perform basic configuration of network devices.
Designed for requesting, packaging, and sending management information over a network. SNMP provides a common set of rules for programmers writing network management programs.
A protocol for monitoring your network. The protocol is used by SNMP consoles and agents to communicate. In Windows NT, the SNMP service is used to get and set status information about a host on a TCP/IP network. See also Management Information Databases.
A connectionless applications services protocol from the TCP/IP suite. It may also be used directly over Ethernet. SNMP provided the mechanism to retrieve MIB information from device agents. Three versions of SNMP are available v1, v2 and v3.
Software used to control network communications devices using TCP/IP.
One of the management protocols supported by HP SIM. Traditional management protocol used extensively by networking systems and most servers. MIB-2 is the standard information available consistently across all vendors.
SNMP provides a mechanism for a centrally located management workstation to monitor the activity of remote computers and network services.
Protocol to manage and monitor devices connected to a network.
SNMP defines a set of commands that a management application uses to retrieve or change the values of items a management agent makes available.
A standard protocol used to communicate management information for monitoring your network. See also Management Information Database (MIB).
Both a way of obtaining and storing information about network devices. A protocol designed to manage networking devices. SNMP capable devices keep statistics on their operation, if instructed to do so, which may be remotely fetched and analyzed by central management stations.
A widely used member of the TCP/IP suite of protocols designed to support remote management of network components and the gathering of alarm and event information.
A set of standards for communication with devices connected to a TCP/IP network. Examples of these devices include routers, hubs and switches.
A management protocol based on TCP/IP and MID's.
Software and protocol used for managing networking components such as routers. SNMP enables different routers to be managed from one management application, such as HP OpenView.
Request/response type of protocol that gathers management information
A standard protocol that runs over an IP link to provide management of network type devices without performing continual polling.
The protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions.
The Internet standard protocol developed to manage nodes on an IP network.
A network management protocol installed with TCP/IP and widely used on TCP/IP and Internet Package Exchange (IPX) networks. SNMP transports management information and commands between a management program run by an administrator and the network management agent running on a host. The SNMP agent sends status information to one or more hosts when the host requests it or when a significant event occurs.
A network management protocol for TCP/IP-based networks.
A network management protocol used for configuring and monitoring devices on IP networks.
A standardized mechanism for remotely monitoring and managing network resources such as modems, access points, printers, computers, routers, etc.
A protocol used by network hosts to exchange information used in the management of networks. SNMP network management is based on the client and server model. Each managed host runs a process called an agent. The agent is a server process that maintains the Management Information Base (MIB) database for the host.
SNMP) A protocol of the Internet reference model used for network management.
A standard Internet protocol. It is commonly used to wire hubs.
Developed to manage nodes on an IP network, SNMP is an Internet standard protocol. It can be used to manage wiring hubs, video toasters, CD ROM jukeboxes, and many other devices.
The network management protocol that defines the transfer of LAN operational data between Management Information Bases (MIBs).
SNMP monitors and controls network devices, statistics collection, performance, security and manages configurations.
The Internet's standard for remote monitoring and management of hosts, routers, and other nodes and devices on a network. A TCP/IP-derived protocol governing network management and monitoring network devices.
A protocol that allows network management by elements, such as gateways, routers, and hosts. This protocol provides a means of communication between network elements regarding network resources.
A protocol which allows administrators to manage heterogeneous systems with a single administration interface.
Part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. SNMP is used for management, monitoring and control of network. This has been known to have serious vulnerabilities, due to the lack of any sort of authentication or encryption of the traffic.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the Internet protocol suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force. The protocol can support monitoring of network-attached devices for any conditions that warrant administrative attention.
A request-response protocol that collects management information from network devices and provides a way to set and monitor configuration parameters.
A network management (TCP/IP) protocol designed to give users the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. Information on devices managed is defined and stored in the application's Management Information Base (MIB).
See SNMP.
The Internet network management protocol. SNMP provides a means to monitor and set network configuration and runtime parameters.
A network protocol used to manage TCP/IP networks. In Windows, the SNMP service is used to provide status information about a host on a TCP/IP network. See also: agent; protocol; service; Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
SNMP exists as the application protocol that offers network management and service within the Internet suite of protocols. It is a structure for transmitting information and formatting messages between reporting devices (agents) and also data collection programs. It was developed jointly by the Department of Defense, by industry and also the academic community. It was part of the TCP/IP protocol suite; this was ratified as an Internet standard in the Request for (Comment (RFC) 1098.
An application layer protocol which facilities the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. (Cisco)
