Simple Network Management Protocol

Simple Network Management Protocol is part of the set of internet communications protocols defined by the internet engineering task force. This protocol uses small programs called agents? that are based on the machine that you want to monitor. These agents collect information and store it locally in memory, in a machine information base, or MIB?. When the information is requested by a central computer, the agent will send the specific piece of information requested.
