| | The SNMP Tool
You can use the SNMP tool to view Simple Network Management Protocol values.
The SNMP tool lets you view network status information from a remote host that supports SNMP. SNMP assigns names (object identifiers) to standard network configuration and status information. For example, you can view information about the following types of network data:
- System -- description of host (sysDescr), name of person responsible (sysContact), name of host (sysName)
- Interfaces -- name of interface (ifDescr), its status, type, and physical address (ifOperStatus, ifType, ifPhysAddress)
- IP configuration -- destination (ipRouteDest), next hop of the route (ipRouteNextHop), and type of route (ipRouteType), for example, direct or indirect
