Detailed explanation-1: -SNMP It defines the format of the packet to be sent from a manager to an agent and vice versa. To use SNMP, we need rules for naming objects. This is particularly important because the objects in SNMP form a hierarchical structure (an object may have a parent object and some child objects).
Detailed explanation-2: -SNMP Messages. Messages are exchanged between the manager and agent entities over the UDP transport of TCP/IP. This facilitates the exchange of SNMP operations. The messages, called PDUs, have formats that are defined by the SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 protocols; the types are not interoperable.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The management server always sends a GetRequest message to an agent. To request or obtain the value of one or more MIB objects, messages are sent.
