SNMPv2

SNMPv2 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 2) is a protocol used to monitor and manage network devices such as routers, switches, and servers. It allows administrators to collect data about device performance, detect problems, and configure devices remotely. SNMPv2 improves on earlier versions by offering more efficient data communication and better error handling. It operates through managers (admin systems) that send requests and devices (agents) that respond with information. Overall, SNMPv2 helps keep networks reliable and secure by enabling centralized oversight of diverse equipment.
