SNMP 1
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to manage network devices including computers,
routers and Brother network ready machines.
LLMNR 1
The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers,
if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works
when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as Windows Vista
