Overview This document describes five types of SNMP applications: - Applications which initiate SNMP Read-Class, and/or Write-Class requests, called 'command generators.' - Applications which respond to SNMP Read-Class, and/or Write-Class requests, called 'command responders.' - Applications which generate SNMP Notification-Class PDUs, called 'notification originators.'Show full document text
