SNMP Device Monitor

Short for Simple Network Management Protocol provides a set of protocols for managing complex networks. The first versions of SNMP were developed in the early '80s. SNMP works by sending messages to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters. Examples of managed devices on a Network include Servers, Switches and Routers.

SNMP Device monitors can take the form of a management station gathering and displaying information from managed agents. A management station is the location where an administrator can view, analyze, and even manage network devices. This again creates a pro-active environment that reduces the time users are impacted. In today's switched environment, it provides Network Analysts information on how to narrow in on devices that may be causing problems, thus reducing troubleshooting time. Products
