from the SNMP FAQ
The "simple" in SNMP doesn't mean "trivial". It cannot
be learned by flipping through a few emails or news posts.
The "simple" in SNMP is only in contrast to protocols
which are thought to be even more complex than SNMP.
There is no magic solution to learning SNMP. All
of us who have mastered the subject did so by 1)reading
several books on the subject, 2)reading/playing with the sample code
from CMU or NET-SNMP, 3)implementing several trial products
over a period of months.
If your boss expects SNMP miracles and will not listen to
reason, either become a good liar or find a new job.
Or, as David Perkins posted in recent response to a newbie:
"It will take you at least 6 months or so of studying and
usage to "comprehend SNMP very well". I suggest that
you read a few books (more than one) on SNMP and RMON,
since authors focus on different aspects of the subject
area."
You can find these resources listed in this FAQ and
on several other Web sites devoted to SNMP. Good luck!
