-Description:
-SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for
-network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools:
-an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting
-information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP
-traps, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl
-mib browser. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons,
-documentation, etc.
-
-You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package,
-which contains NET-SNMP utilities.

-Platform: UNKNOWN
