1. Overview
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol and it is commonly used to access and manage network equipment such as switches and routers. It has been available for a long time and has evolved quite a lot with better functionality and security. Each SNMP object can be addressed by its Object IDs (OIDs) and I find that many new SNMP users are confused about the SNMP OIDs and how they should be used correctly. There are 3 major kinds of SNMP OIDs, scalar, table and dynamic and each has its own unique way of accessing. This blog will explain each type of OID and show how they can be accessed correctly.
