Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communications protocol that is standard in network monitoring systems. It allows for monitoring and control of SNMP-enabled devices in remote networks.

The SNMP architecture is based on the manager-agent format. The SNMP manager will collect information from your multiple SNMP agents deployed at remote sites. The agents’ job is to gather remote site data and send it back to the master through the SNMP protocol.

This exchange of information can be done via polling or via traps.

In this video, Andrew explains what polling and traps are and what makes them different from one another.
