The SNMP protocol is used by network management systems to communicate with network elements.For this to work, the network element must be equipped with an SNMP agent.
- Most professional-grade network hardware comes with an SNMP agent built in. These agents must be enabled and configured to communicate with the network management system.
- Operating systems, such as Unix and Windows, can also be configured with SNMP agents.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a UDP-based network protocol.
