SNMP Tutorial Part 1: An Introduction to SNMP

The first part of our SNMP tutorial series introduces SNMP with a brief history of the procotol. In this lesson, you will learn about SNMP network architectures. You will also learn about how the various parts of an SNMP system interact to convey SNMP traps to your SNMP system master. This includes different types of common SNMP commands that you can use within your own SNMP management system.

SNMP Tutorial Part 2: The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB)

The first part of our SNMP tutorial series introduces SNMP with a brief history of the procotol. In this lesson, you will learn about SNMP network architectures. You will also learn about how the various parts of an SNMP system interact to convey SNMP traps to your SNMP system master. This includes different types of common SNMP commands that you can use within your own SNMP management system.

SNMP Tutorial Part 3: Understanding SNMP Packet Types and Structure

This module will teach you about the structure of SNMP trap packets. This includes a review of the types of SNMP command-response packets for common SNMP traps. You will also learn about the formatting of SNMP trap packets within the SNMP MIB.

SNMP Tutorial Part 4: Layered Communication

The fourth article in the SNMP tutorial reviews the layered communication model of SNMP. This includes a description of the various communications layers, and what SNMP applications take place at each. This will also explore the assembly of SNMP packets within the Network Interface layer. Helpful SNMP layer diagrams will teach you how to troubleshoot problems by understanding layered SNMP communications.

SNMP Tutorial Part 5: Common Mistakes Made When Integrating SNMP and Non-SNMP Systems

The final module in our SNMP tutorial goes over common mistakes made when integrating SNMP and non-SNMP systems. This module is particularly important for network operators and engineers when deploying or further developing any type SNMP communications system. It will teach you seven common mistakes operators make when buying SNMP equipment, and the requirements you should look for when purchasing an SNMP monitoring system.
