This includes routers and other networking equipment as well as networked peripherals such as NAS devices and networked printers.Ĭouple this wide range with relatively simple setup and the fact that you don’t have to pick and choose which devices to monitor to stay under a monitoring suite license count, and there are many uses for SNMP in most companies. However, in this case, interoperable means that it works on virtually any connected network device. These days, interoperable often means that something works on both Windows and Unix. However, SNMP is both non-proprietary, and interoperable. These systems often provide more functionality than SNMP does. Many organizations have installed proprietary management systems over the years. Why Use SNMP Services on Windows Server 2008? Although SNMP Services are no longer installed by default, installing and setting it up is a snap. Still, the new implementation of SNMP in Windows Server 2008 offers much for the enterprise level systems administrator. The good news, is that the updated TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista is capable of communicating with the new SNMP implementation.
Unfortunately, that means that SNMP management from Server 2008 will not communicate with SNMP services still on Server 2003 regardless of whether IPv6 is implemented on those servers. Prior editions of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 included SNMP support, but only with IPv4, even if the IPv6 stack was installed. With the release of Server 2008, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is now supported using IPv6.
