What are SNMP trap messages?

  • unsolicited messages that are sent by the SNMP agent and alert the NMS to a condition on the network
  • messages that are used by the NMS to change configuration variables in the agent device
  • messages that are sent periodically by the NMS to the SNMP agents that reside on managed devices to query the device for data
  • messages that are used by the NMS to query the device for data

Explanation: A GET request is a message that is used by the NMS to query the device for data. A SET request is a message that is used by the NMS to change configuration variables in the agent device. An NMS periodically polls the SNMP agents residing on managed devices, by querying the device for data by using the GET request.
