Simple Network Management Protocol

 Foreword
 Management framework solutions for TCP/IP networks were introduced as
hardware and software increased, in order to support rapid network
growth. SNMP was originally adapted from a simpler SGMP protocol for
use as the basis for common network management throughout the system.
SNMP has since experienced version revisions, however remains the
standard protocol for network management. The SNMP framework, as well
as the supporting Management Information Base act as the foundation for
network management, and are introduced in support of a well-rounded
understanding of the network management framework for TCP/IP.
