The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet Standard protocol for
gathering and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks, as well as
changing that information to alter device behavior. Cable modems, routers, switches, servers,
workstations, printers, and other devices commonly support SNMP.

In network administration, SNMP is frequently used for network monitoring. SNMP provides
management data about managed systems in the form of variables, which are structured in a
management information base (MIB) and explain the state and configuration of the system.
Managing apps can then query these variables remotely.

SNMP has been developed and deployed in three major versions. The initial version of the
protocol is SNMPv1. SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 are newer versions with improved
performance, flexibility, and security.
