Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is probably the oldest protocol for the management of heterogeneous Networks. As twenty years have passed since the first standards in RFC 1157 were published, we can rank SNMP as a classic. However, its advantages have been long forgotten- perhaps in part, thanks to its trouble free application. This presentation will briefly cover the basics of SNMP and deal with its implementation in Linux. The net-smnp agent offers many tricks and configuration options which can be used to solve most management problems easily.
