Introduction
Imagine you have around 100 routers and switches across your network
and all the links that go with them, everything is running well but then your
network starts to slow down. It's up to you to figure out which of your 100
routers, switches or links is the problem. What tools will you use to solve
this?

SNMP overview
• It's an application-layer protocol(tool) that enables you to monitor
and manage the health of the network. You can find the problem or
you could even see the warning signs before you even have a
problem.
• SNMP can be used to monitor status of devices, make configuration
changes, etc.
3
There are two main types of devices in
SNMP:
Managed • these are the devices being
managed by SNMP.
devices (Agent • for example: Routers and switches.
)
Network • the device/devices managing the
managed devices
management • this is the SNMP "server"
station (NMS)
4
SNMP • There are 3 main ways SNMP can be used to
help manage a network:
Operations
1-Managed devices can notify the NMS of events
5
2-The NMS can ask the managed devices for information about their
current status
6
3-The NMS can tell the managed devices to change their
configuration, for example: change hostname, IP address..

SNMP messages
Message class Read Write Notification Response
Description Messages sent by Messages sent by Messages sent by Messages sent in
the NMS to read the NMS to change the managed response to previous
information from the information on the devices to alert the message/request
managed devices. managed devices. NMS of a particular
event
Messages Get Set Trap Response
GetNext Inform
GetBulk
Example What's your current Change an IP address Interface going down
CPU usage?

SNMP & ports
• SNMP uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport mechanism for SNMP
messages.
• SNMP uses two well-known ports:
Agents sending messages up to manager: Port 162
Managers sending messages down to agents :Port 161
9
SNMP versions
• SNMPv1: the original version of SNMP
SNMPv2c : Allows the NMS to retrieve large amounts of information in
single request GetBulk
SNMPv3: a much more secure version that supports strong encryption
and authentication.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
was developed as a powerful tool for controlling and monitoring the
status of network devices. With its ability to enable network
administrators to manage network performance, find and solve
network problems, and plan for network growth, SNMP has become an
essential component in the management of modern computer
networks, and it will likely continue to play a critical role in ensuring
the reliability and effectiveness of networks for years to come.
