7. CONFORMANCE

In order to lay some foundation for interoperability, this section specifies the minimum expectations from an SNMP implementation claiming conformance to this RFC.

7.1. Agent Conformance​

An SNMP agent must:

  • Accept get, get-next, and set requests, and return get-response PDUs.
  • Support the well-known port 161 over UDP.
  • Implement the MIB defined in [5].
  • Generate trap PDUs where appropriate, using the well-known port 162.

7.2. Management Station Conformance​

A management station (manager) must:

  • Generate get, get-next, and set requests.
  • Accept get-response PDUs.
  • Accept trap PDUs on port 162.
