SNMP tools are software applications or utilities used to manage, monitor, and configure network devices using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). These tools can collect data on network performance, detect faults, and provide insights into network health.
SNMP devices are network devices, such as routers, switches, servers, printers, and other hardware, that support and respond to SNMP queries. These devices provide data on their status and performance, which can be monitored and managed using SNMP tools.
SNMP monitoring tools are needed to ensure the efficient operation and management of a network. They help identify and resolve network issues, monitor network performance, track device status, and gather valuable data for network planning and optimization. Using these tools enhances network reliability and helps prevent downtime.
