Simple network management protocol
Network management stations use SNMP to retrieve or alter management data from network elements. Standard and private SNMP
management information bases (MIBs) are supported, including all get requests. A managed object is a datum of management
information. A MIB is a database that stores managed objects found in network elements. MIBs are hierarchically structured and use object
identiers to address managed objects. Managed objects are also known as object descriptors.
