SNMP

The SNMP Probe monitors SNMP traps and informs on both UDP and TCP sockets concurrently.

This probe has the following features that allow it to handle generic traps:

It can handle a high volume and high rate of traps.
It receives traps independently of trap processing, using an internal queue mechanism.
It handles high trap rates and high burst rates using two buffers: one buffer is for all of the sockets that the probe monitors, and the other buffer is an internal queue between the reader and writer sides of the probe.
It supports SNMP V1, V2c, and V3 traps.
It supports SNMP V2c and V3 traps and informs.
It uses a User-based Security Model (USM) for SNMP V3.
