Briefly describe how SNMP works.

What will be an ideal response?

SNMP allows computers and network equipment to gather data about network performance. Software agents are loaded onto each network device that will be managed. Each agent monitors network traffic and stores that information in its management information base (MIB). In addition, a computer with the SNMP management software, known as the SNMP management station, communicates with the software agents on each network device and collects the data stored in the MIBs. The SNMP management station then combines all of the data and produces statistics about the network, such as transmission or connectivity errors, the number of bytes or data packets sent, and information on IP activity and addressing.
