SNMP. Network management systems use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to communicate with network elements.

SNMP

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. SNMP Messages Either the network management system (NMS) or the network element intitiates SNMP messages. An SNMP TRAP is a message that a network element initiates and sends to the network management system. An SNMP GET is a message that the network management system initiates when it wants to retrieve some data from a network element.
