How SNMP Works - a quick guide

Learn how SNMP works in just minutes with Aaron! Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an important standard to learn for anyone in IT in order to monitor network devices and servers without installing dedicated agents on target machines (i.e. agentless). Thousands of various network devices & operating systems from different vendors support SNMP to deliver critical information on important metrics like health, usage, service state and more. This introduction video explains topics like:

* Basic background info
* Key terminology like OID and MIB among others
* How SNMP easily monitors devices like switches & routers
* How SNMP works with ports, messages, traps, and more

Man... I saw literally dozens of videos trying to understand OIDs and MIBs and I failed every time. I had even given up. This is the best explanation for sure! Thanks a lot!

Paid for 2 Network+ courses from different vendors and neither explained MIBs and OIDs this well. Thank you.

Yo, honestly. I love watching this video. The way you talk, the flow of the subject, and the structure of the video makes everything seem very welcoming and easy to understand. I dig this video a lot. It might be because of how sleepy I am having a good time goodnight.

I don't know how many videos I have seen about SNMP, but none of them explained as clearly as you did.
