Marshall DenHartog has seven years' experience working with SNMP. This includes designing private MIB extensions, creating SNMP systems for multiple platforms, and developing SNMP-based monitoring for several nationwide networks.
SNMP ("Simple Network Management Protocol") is nothing more than a standard language that computers use to control each other and report important information. Its advantage today is that a very large number of devices support it, enabling them to work together.
How much do you need to know about SNMP to implement SNMP alarm monitoring on your communications network?
