What is SNMP? It stands for Simple Network Management Protocol, and is a set of standards for communication with devices in a TCP/IP network. SNMP monitoring is useful for anyone who is responsible for servers and network devices such as hosts, routers, hubs and switches. It lets you keep an eye on network and bandwidth usage, and track important issues such as uptime and traffic levels.
Paessler Router Traffic Grapher is the easy, intuitive SNMP server monitor. It works with (almost) all SNMP enabled devices, such as managed switches, routers and firewalls. It is remarkably easy to install on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003. Monitoring is both simple and intuitive, and can be done via a Windows GUI or a web based front end. Data retrieval and configuration is easy, and the fully skinnable web interface enables you to customize reports to suit your business.
