Detailed explanation-1: -An SNMP agent is a process that runs on a system being managed and maintains the MIB database for the system. An SNMP manager is an application that generates requests for MIB information and processes the responses. The manager and agent communicate using the Simple Network Management Protocol.
Detailed explanation-2: -The MIB, or Management Information Base, is an ASCII text file that describes Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) elements as a list of data objects. Think of it as a dictionary of the SNMP language-every managed object referred to in an SNMP message must be listed in the MIB.
Detailed explanation-3: -GETNEXT – The SNMP manager sends this message to the agent to get information from the next OID within the MIB tree. GETBULK – The SNMP agent uses the GETBULK message to pull data tables by using lots of different GETNEXT commands.
