The get-next-request (or simply get-next) obtains the value of the next instance of the object in the Management Information Base (MIB) tree. The set-request is generated by the manager to initialize or reset the value of an object. The get response message is generated by the agent in response to get-request, get-next, or set-request from the manager. Trap is unsolicited alarm sent by agent to the manager.
