• SNMP is an application layer protocol that uses UDP as the transport protocol.
Limitations of SNMP
• SNMP is stateless in nature and each SNMP request contains all
the information to process the request. The application needs to
be intelligent to manage the device.
• SNMP is a connectionless protocol which uses UDP as the transport
protocol, making it unreliable as there was no support for
acknowledgement of requests.
• MIBs often lack writable objects without which device
configuration is not possible using SNMP.
• It is difficult to differentiate between configuration and state data
in MIBs.
• Retrieving the current configuration from a device can be
difficult with SNMP.
• Earlier versions of SNMP did not have strong security
features.
