Secure Your Network
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one of the standard operations and maintenance protocol for the Internet. SNMP has been a key technology that enabled the Internet's phenomenal growth. This page provides information about this protocol, ranging from beginner's FAQs to the latest industry standard - SNMPv3. 1
SNMP standards are defined in a series of documents, called request for comments or RFCs, proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). A list of RFCs for SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 is available. Please note that the IETF has changed the recommended status of SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c to historic. The IETF now recommends using SNMPv3 for internet management.
