SNMPv2c

SNMPv2c (Simple Network Management Protocol version 2c) is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices like routers, switches, and servers. It allows administrators to collect information about device performance, configuration, and security, and to control them remotely. SNMPv2c uses a community string as a basic form of security—think of it as a password—to authorize access. It improves on earlier versions with better performance and additional features, making network management more efficient. Overall, SNMPv2c helps ensure networks run smoothly by providing centralized oversight and control.
