SNMP Commands

SNMPv1 offers a limited number of commands that follow a simple request/response exchange to communicate between the manager and the agent.

The manager issues requests such as:

Get: A request for information of a specific variable.

GetNext: A request for the next specific variable.

Set: A request to change the value of a specific variable.

The agent responds with:

Get-Response: A response to the manager’s Get and GetNext commands.

Trap: An asynchronous message to the recipient about an error or event.

Note: Refer to the SNMP software documentation for additional information.
