Monitoring Your Devices By SNMP<br />
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing<br />
devices on IP networks. SNMP allows you to collect data from all types of devices, such as desktops,<br />
servers, routers, and switches, across any operating system. When you enable SNMP on a<br />
device and provide the correct credentials, <strong>PacketTrap</strong> <strong>MSP</strong> can monitor that device and collect<br />
data from it. <strong>PacketTrap</strong> <strong>MSP</strong> uses SNMP to gather much of the device performance information<br />
from a network.
