Performance management with SNMP typically involves monitoring and collecting various performance metrics from network devices and systems, such as CPU utilization, memory usage, network traffic, and more.
SNMP agents installed on network devices and systems periodically collect these performance metrics and store them in SNMP management information bases (MIBs). SNMP managers can then retrieve this information from the MIBs through SNMP queries.
To manage performance with SNMP effectively, administrators need to configure SNMP agents on all network devices and systems they want to monitor and ensure that they can communicate with SNMP managers. They may also need to set performance thresholds and alerts to notify them when performance metrics exceed expected values or fall below acceptable levels.
Overall, SNMP provides a robust framework for monitoring and managing network performance, allowing administrators to quickly identify and resolve performance issues before they impact end-users.
