SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is one of the most widely used protocols for network management. It does what its name says: it manages network devices in a relatively simple manner. SNMP is a simple, unacknowledged, connectionless protocol.

SNMP was originally developed to work under the umbrella of the Internet suite of protocols, primarily in TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) transport protocols.

If you have an enterprise management console on your network (for example, HP OpenView or IBM NetView), you can configure SANscape servers to send SNMP traps about events to the console. See Setting Up Servers to Send Traps for details.
