Description: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol designed to facilitate the management of networked devices from a central location. Designed originally for the management of devices such as routers and switches, its usage has grown rapidly to encompass the monitoring of nearly any electronic device one can think of. Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc.) to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agents return information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).

AWE natively supports SNMP protocols such as Get, Set, Walk and Trap (to name a few), providing server administrators and IT personnel a means to monitor a complete network infrastructure through simple tasks. SNMP also enables integration with products such as Microsoft MOM and others. Furthermore, encompasses the SNMP trigger, which can launch a task when an SNMP trap is received.
