Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one
of the key components of a Network Management
System (NMS). SNMP is an application layer protocol
that facilitates the exchange of management informa-
tion among network devices. It is a part of the TCP/IP
protocol suite.
SNMP is an Internet protocol that was originally
designed to manage different network devices, such as
file servers, hubs, routers and so on. It can also be
used to manage and control an ever increasing number
of small embedded systems connected to one another
over any IP network. Systems can communicate with
each other using SNMP to transfer control and status
information, creating a truly distributed system.
SNMP is used in a variety of applications where remote
monitoring and controlling of the network node is
desired, such as a network printer, online Uninterrupted
Power Supply (UPS), security cameras, home and
industrial appliances monitor and control, automatic
energy meter readings, etc.
Unlike more familiar human-oriented protocols, like
HTTP, SNMP is considered a machine-to-machine
protocol. AN870
