Server Management > Network Services > SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance and security on a network.

If the SNMP agent is enabled, you can use SNMP software to remotely monitor server information such as CPU utilization and network traffic. You can specify the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) communities that can have read-only and read-and-write access to this SNMP agent. The default read-only access community is “public.” The default read-and-write access community is “private.” Note: We recommend that you change the default string for the Read and Write SNMP Community to a unique value.
