Detailed explanation-1: -The SNMP manager is a system that controls and monitors the activities of network hosts using SNMP. The most common managing system is a network management system (NMS). The term NMS can be applied either to a dedicated device used for network management or to the applications used on such a device.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protocol details. SNMP operates in the application layer of the Internet protocol suite. All SNMP messages are transported via User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The SNMP agent receives requests on UDP port 161.
Detailed explanation-3: -SNMP Traps. SNMP traps are notification messages sent by an SNMP agent to inform the NMS of alarms or events generated by the device. In this way, the administrator can learn the running status of the device in a timely manner. There are two types of SNMP traps: trap and inform.
