SNMP Devices
What are SNMP Devices?
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used to manage particular network devices connected via an IP which includes routers, switches, firewalls, storage devices, UPS devices, cameras and printers.
Devices are vulnerable
While SNMP can be provides many options for networking, if not set up and monitored correctly, you could be exposed to problems such as:
- Missing Access Control Lists
- Lax software updating procedures
- Failure to block or manage ports 161 and 162
- Failure to disable SNMP when not in use
- Not upgrading to SNMPv3 for greater security
Asset visibility
SNMP facilitates the collection of data related to networks and network-connected devices which can assist Your IT Crew with managing, monitoring and customizing your devices and applications.
