4.4. In the End
You may have been purchasing SNMP-compatible devices for years
without knowing it. As SNMP has become more popular, it has been
incorporated into more and more devices. SNMP compatibility has
become a true selling point for most vendors.
It goes without saying
that most network devices support SNMP, including routers, bridges,
hubs, servers, and desktop PCs.[16] However, many other
kinds of equipment are also manageable via SNMP, including
uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), air-conditioning units, and
other important pieces of your infrastructure. After you identify
which routers and hubs are SNMP-compatible, keep your eyes open for
other devices that may need to be managed. While SNMP is very good at
managing your network, hosts, hubs, and routers, it's not
limited to only your networking environment.
