SNMP Endpoint Target

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet Standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. Devices that typically support SNMP include cable modems, routers, switches, servers, workstations, and printers. Automation includes functionality to interact with devices over SNMP.

SNMP Endpoint targets require SNMP Credentials account keys and are used with SNMP workflow activities.
