Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer) designed specifically for managing 
and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, 
routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, monitor 
performance and detect potential problems in the Switch, switch group or network.
