SNMP Reference Guide

Introduction 15
Introduction
This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section,
"Introduction to the SNMP Reference Guide," explains the SNMP Reference
Guide design. All essential Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem complex
and unfamiliar to system administrators who are using SNMP for the first
time. SNMP experts can skim this section, and beginners can read the section
more carefully.
The second section, "Introduction to the Server Administrator SNMP
Subagent," is a more technical introduction to the management information
base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator services.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators, network administrators, and
anyone who wants to write SNMP MIB applications to monitor systems.
