How much do you need to know about SNMP to implement SNMP alarm monitoring on your communications network?

You don't need to study SNMP on a theoretical level to make your implementation successful.
But there are some SNMP issues that are potential pitfalls, and you need to know how to avoid them.

You've just been put in charge of implementing SNMP alarm monitoring on your network. Maybe you just inherited a system. How do you know it was built right in the first place? What do you really need to know about SNMP to make this transition work? You could spend months studying protocol architecture or MIB structure, but that's not necessary to get a monitoring project off the ground. You don't need to know SNMP on a theoretical level to make your SNMP deployment successful. SNMP telemetry is still telemetry, and most of what you already know still applies. In fact, your telemetry experience is going to be highly valuable during your SNMP implementation. Even though it uses an IP protocol, SNMP equipment is not plug-and-play simple. You still have to deal with all the usual issues of a telemetry deployment, like data transport, interface compatibility, configuration, and debugging. But there are also some SNMP-specific issues that you need to be aware of. These issues can potentially turn into pitfalls that can stop your SNMP implementation in its tracks, stretch your project over time and over budget, even reduce your overall visibility of your network.

This white paper is a step-by-step guide to SNMP alarm monitoring implementation, focusing on the practical problems that can arise and how to solve them.
