RFC 1633 (Request for Comments 1633)

RFC 1633 defines a standard way for computer networks to externalize and share network management information using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). It specifies how network devices like routers and switches can communicate their status, performance, and configuration data to centralized management systems. This helps network administrators monitor, troubleshoot, and manage devices effectively. Essentially, RFC 1633 establishes a common format and approach for devices to report their health and performance, enabling more efficient network management across diverse hardware and software environments.
