These are data packets sent from the SNMP server to the client without being explicitly requested.
If a device is configured accordingly
An SNMP trap is sent to the client once a specific event occurs on the server-side
MIB
To ensure that SNMP access works across manufacturers and with different client-server combinations, the Management Information Base (MIB) was created.
A MIB is a text file in which all queryable SNMP objects of a device are listed in a standardized tree hierarchy
do not contain data
link to the data
returns a specific OID
OID
represents a node in a hierarchical namespace.
A sequence of numbers uniquely identifies each node, allowing the node's position in the tree to be determined.
SNMP
SNMPv1
provides traps,
no built-in authentication mechanism
does not support encryption
SNMPv2
similar to SNMPv1
community string that provides security is only transmitted in plain text, meaning it has no built-in encryption.
SNMPv3
has authentication using username and password and transmission encryption (via pre-shared key) of the data
Default Configuration
cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf | grep -v "#" | sed -r '/^\s*$/d'

Description
rwuser noauth
Provides access to the full OID tree without authentication.
rwcommunity <community string> <IPv4 address>
Provides access to the full OID tree regardless of where the requests were sent from.
rwcommunity6 <community string> <IPv6 address>
Same access as with rwcommunity with the difference of using IPv6.
