Why each option
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an IP protocol widely used for monitoring and managing various network equipment and devices.
SNMP is primarily for monitoring and information exchange, not for direct configuration of complex features like zoning or changing system configuration in the way a CLI or specific management API would.
SNMP does not directly send email notifications; it can, however, be used to trigger systems that then send email notifications based on received traps or polled data.
SNMP is used for managing existing devices, not for changing the default management server itself, although it might provide data that influences such a change.
SNMP is designed to allow network devices to exchange management information. It enables administrators to monitor network performance, identify network problems, and configure network devices from a central location by collecting data and sending commands to managed devices.
