Explanation
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is specifically designed to monitor and manage network devices such as routers, switches, servers, and printers by collecting parameters like CPU utilization, bandwidth usage, interface status, and error counts. SNMPv3 added authentication (MD5/SHA) and encryption (DES/AES) to address the security weaknesses of v1 and v2c, making it the secure version referenced in this question. SSL is a general-purpose encryption layer, SSH provides secure remote command-line access, and SMTP is used for sending email. None of those are designed to capture device parameters from network equipment.
