| **SNMP** is so popular that most network devices come pre-bundled with **SNMP** agents. To make use of the protocol, however, network administrators must first change the default configuration settings of their network devices so **SNMP** agents can communicate with the NMS. | **SNMP** is so popular that most network devices come pre-bundled with **SNMP** agents.
