SNMP operations and thresholds

SNMP operations include retrieving information (GET), modifying information (SET) and reporting an event (TRAP). These operations provide management access to MIB variables and agent status:

• GET: fetch value of one or more variables
• SET: set value of one or more variables
• TRAP: unsolicited event notification generic to all or vendor-specific

Any implementation supporting the SNMP operations must adhere to requirements as defined in RFC1157.
