A large part of being a system administrator is collecting accurate information about your servers and infrastructure. There are a number of tools and options for gathering and processing this type of information. Many of them are built upon a technology called SNMP.

SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is a way that servers can share information about their current state and also a channel through which an administrator can modify predefined values. While the protocol itself is very simple, the structure of programs that implement SNMP can be very complex.

In this training program at the British Academy for Training and Development, we will introduce you to the basics of the SNMP protocol. We will go over its uses, the way that the protocol is typically used in a network, the differences in its protocol versions, and more.
