SNMP configuration script, MIBs and documentation

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a framework for the exchange of management information between agents (servers) and clients.

This package includes documentation and MIBs (Management Information Bases) for the SNMP libraries, agents and applications. MIBs contain a formal description of the data that can be managed using SNMP and applications.

NOTE: If you want the OIDs (Object Identifiers) to resolve to their text description, you need to activate the non-free repository and install the "snmp-mibs-downloader" package.
