SNMP Protocol
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard protocol used to monitor and manage devices like routers, switches, and servers with the WebCTRL® system via an Automated Logic® OptiFlex integrator. This creates a single, centralized view enabling operators and network administrators to streamline building operations, maintain network health, troubleshoot issues, and receive automated alerts about issues that impact building performance.
The OptiFlex integrator acts as an SNMP manager, communicating with SNMP agents on your network devices to read and write data, as well as receive event notifications called traps. The SNMP agent retrieves Management Information Base (MIB) data by referencing specific Object Identifier (OID) values to report device status to the SNMP manager.
