Simple Network Management Protocol A protocol that specifies a mechanism for network management that is complete, yet simple. Information is exchanged between agents, which are the devices on the network being managed, and managers, which are the devices on the network through which the management is done. SNMP See Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP community Also known as SNMP community string. SNMP community is a cluster of managed products (in SNMP terminology, hosts) to which the server or managed product running the SNMP agent belongs. SNMP community name The name assigned to a given SNMP community. Queries from an SNMP management station to a device running an SNMP agent will only elicit a response if those queries are addressed with the correct SNMP community name. storage area network A high-performance data communications environment that interconnects computing and storage resources so that the resources can be effectively shared and consolidated. subnet mask Used by a computer to determine whether another computer with which it needs to communicate is located on a local or remote network. The network mask depends upon the class of networks to which the computer is connecting. The mask indicates which digits to look at in a longer network address and allows the router to avoid handling the entire address. switch priority Value configured into each switch in a fabric that determines its relative likelihood of becoming the fabric's principal switch.
