devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the settings of
gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. SNMP can be used to perform many
of the same functions as a directly connected console, or can be used within an integrated
network management software package such as Insight Manager 7.
SNMP performs the following functions:
•
•
•
Sends and receives SNMP packets through the IP protocol
