3 Using SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that allows
communication between SNMP managers and SNMP agents on an IPv4 as well as on an IPv6 network.
Network administrators use SNMP to monitor network performance and to manage network resources.
SNMP functionality over IPv6 environment can be configured only on an OmniSwitch 6250.
