SNMP basic operations

SNMP includes the following basic operations:

• GET

  Enables the SNMP manager to retrieve (read) the value of MIB objects at the SNMP agent.

• SET

  Enables the SNMP manager to set (write) the value of MIB objects at the SNMP agent.

• NOTIFY

  Enables an SNMP agent to asynchronously notify the SNMP manager of significant but unsolicited events (traps).

• INFORM

  Enables an SNMP manager to asynchronously send an alert (similar to a trap) to another SNMP manager.
