Description

Many corporate networks will have devices on them that support SNMP.

SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol.

Some examples of common devices that support the SNMP protocol are routers, switches, printers and NAS servers. Also Linux, Windows and MacOS operating systems can be configured to support SNMP.

You would typically use SNMP on a device that doesn't have an operating system where you can install a Zabbix agent.

And not all devices support SNMP, but on my network, I do have a device that supports SNMP and that is a MikroTik 260GS switch. I will demonstrate how to set this up in Zabbix.
