SNMP

I want to know about SNMP, please tell me some useful links (No Microsoft link please).

Purpose of SNMP?
How to use it detailed explanation?

There is loads of information available on the internet, just do a search for something like 'introduction to SNMP' for the full list.
Here are some to get you started:

www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutor...tion-SNMP-Part1.html

I highly recommend buying the Essential SNMP Oreilly book.

It is one of the better resources for SNMP and not too difficult of a read.

Awesome, I just received that book today because I'm going to an openview class. Perhaps I'll post some notes in a couple of weeks.

just resuming there are a lot of terms you will find in learning snmp.
as mibs, agent, nms, .....

but resuming, it is a protocol for network monitoring and management.

it works int a client /server role, where with the help of snmp minitoring software installed in the server device, you can monitor network status about all devices and conditions of an entire network, you can also configure remote devices, by snmp (not recommended), and also send traps borking the defined threshold to the nms device, insted of it to send a get responde from the agent devices (the monitored one).

resuming it is like a domain where all devices must belong the same adminstrative domain (commmunity), you can also send encrypted monitoring communication wiht new versions of snmp.

just an introduction.
