SNMP can be helpful for managing large networks, and some router manufacturers are including SNMP functions in their routers, most notably Linksys.\u00a0 You’ll need to use some sort of SNMP utility to capture and read the generated messages, however.\u00a0 Linux and Unix users won’t have much of a problem finding SNMP Trap utilities, but Windows and MacOS users may need more help.<\/p>\n
