Explanation

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is specifically designed for network device monitoring and management. SNMP traps are unsolicited alert messages sent by network devices (agents) to a management station or log server when a specific event occurs (e.g., a link goes down). SMTP is used for sending email, PPPoE is a point-to-point protocol used for DSL connections, and POP3 is used for retrieving email from a server - none of these handle network device traps.
