SNMP and MIB II Processes

The JUNOS software supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which helps administrators monitor the state of a router. The software supports SNMP Version 1, Version 2 (also known as Version 2c, or v2c), and SNMPv3. The JUNOS implementation of SNMP does not include any of the security features that were originally included the IETF SNMP drafts but were later dropped because of the inability to standardize on a particular method. The SNMP software is controlled by the JUNOS SNMP and MIB II processes, which consist of an SNMP master agent and various subagents.
