Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Applications
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This document describes five types of Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) applications which make use of an SNMP engine as
described in STD 62, RFC 3411. The types of application described
are Command Generators, Command Responders, Notification Originators,
Notification Receivers, and Proxy Forwarders.
This document also defines Management Information Base (MIB) modules
for specifying targets of management operations, for notification
filtering, and for proxy forwarding. This document obsoletes RFC
2573.

1. 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
