Figure 1 SNMP Environment

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard protocol for managing and

monitoring network devices, including disk devices, routers, and hubs. SNMP uses Simple Gateway

Management Protocol (SGMP) to manage the TCP/IP gateways.

The standardized configuration and database of network management information is called a

Management Information Base (MIB). A standard MIB is common to all SNMP interfaces. An extension

MIB is defined by the particular managed device or protocol.
