How does SNMP polling works

Viewed 20

My guess is:

  1. Use WALK to retrieve all variables (periodically)
  2. Set our own rules in MIB to check for variable values:
    • true / false
    • Above certain threshold
    • etc.

I do not think the above is true.

Because if that is the case, the setup and configuration of the MIB will be tedious and user must have extensive knowledge of each variables sent by the Agent.

Hopefully someone can tell me a simpler way.
