Dell OpenManage SNMP Reference Guide Version 8.3

Introduction

This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section, Introduction to SNMP Reference Guide, explains the SNMP Reference Guide design. All essential Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem complex and unfamiliar to system administrators who are using SNMP for the first time. SNMP experts can skim this section, and beginners can read the section more carefully.

The second section, Introduction to the Server Administrator SNMP Subagent, is a more technical introduction to the management information base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator services.
