what is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)?
It allows devices to communicate even if the devices are different hardware
and run different software.
what is SNMP in application layer protocol
uses UDP port number 161/162.
- SNMP is used to monitor the network, detect network faults, and sometimes even
used to configure remote devices.
What Are UDP Ports (UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol.)?
The User Datagram Protocol is connectionless, which means a host device can
transmit data to its recipient without establishing a connection beforehand.
UDP ports depend on the UDP/IP protocols.
What is SMI stand for?
- SMI stands for Structure of Management Information.
- It defines the rules for describing managed objects.
What is MIB stand for?
- MIB stands for Management Information Base
- MIB is the way to manage objects residing in a virtual database
what is Management station?
hosts the network management applications. In another meaning, it is the servers,
called managers, collect and process information about devices on the network.
what is SNMP Manager?
SNMP Manager is a centralized system used to monitor network. It is also known as
Network Management Station (NMS)
explain SNMP, SMI, MIB?
- SNMP defines the format of packets exchanged between a manager and an
agent. It reads and changes the status (values) of objects
(variables) in SNMP packets. - SMI defines the general rules for naming objects, defining object types
(including range and length), and showing how to encode objects and values. - MIB creates a collection of named objects, their types, and their
relationships to each other in an entity to be managed.
what is Simple data types?
are atomic data types. Some of them are taken from ASN.1
what is iStructured data types?
- Sequence: a combination of simple data types, not of the same type.
- Sequence of: a combination of simple data types, all of the same type.
Data Type Breakdown
Data Type | Class | Format | Number | Tag (Binary) | Tag (Hex) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
INTEGER | 00 | 0 | 00010 | 00000010 | 02 |
📌 Explanation
1. Data Type (نوع البيانات)
- Specifies that the data type is
INTEGER
(عدد صحيح).
2. Class (الفئة)
00
means it belongs to the "UNIVERSAL" class — a general data type class.
3. Format (التنسيق)
0
indicates it's Primitive — meaning it holds raw data, not a complex structure.
4. Number (الرقم)
00010
is the identifier for theINTEGER
type (always2
in ASN.1).
5. Tag (Binary) — (الوسم بالثنائي)
00000010
combines Class + Format + Number, represented in binary form.
6. Tag (Hex) — (الوسم بالست عشري)
02
is the same tag, but in Hexadecimal format.

video explain example in lecture
- Without a protocol like SNMP, there would be no way for network management tools
- NMP requires the use of two other protocols: Structure of Management
Information (SMI) and Management Information Base (MIB).
