2. What is SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network management. It is used for collecting information from, and configuring, network devices, such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers on an IP (Internet Protocol) network.

3. Some SNMP Terminology
• Agent: A process that monitors devices for problems\information’s and sends alerts to a monitoring station.
• OID: SNMP works by querying “Objects”. An object is simply something that we can gather information about on a network device. For instance, an object might be something like “PC Name”.
• MIB: A MIB is like a translator that helps a Management Station to understand SNMP responses obtained from your network devices. All SNMP devices generally Support MIB-2, which is a standard set of objects that can be monitored.
• MIB Browser (or MIB Walker): A tool that can pull data from SNMP enabled devices, helping to identify which objects respond to a query.
• Polling: An NMS will poll, or ask devices for their status regularly.
• Trap: SNMP sends a trap, or unsolicited message sent from an agent to a management station when some important event is detected. This is the opposite of polling.

4. Desigo CC – SNMP limitations
Current Desigo CC version has the following restrictions:
It cannot act as SNMP Agent (provide SNMP info to 3° party NMS)
It does not support SNMP Traps (spontaneous SNMP notifications)
It does not provide SNMP Set functionality (SNMP commanding)
The above functionalities are currently listed as requirements for Desigo CC and they will be evaluated for future Desigo CC versions.
