It has been argued that one should not use a network to debug a problem in the network. Why does SNMP use the same network that it is debugging?

What will be an ideal response?


Using an application protocol for network management, such as SNMP, works well for two reasons.
First, in cases where a special hardware failure prevents communication, a manager can
communicate with devices that remain functional, and use success or failure to help locate the
problem. Second, using conventional transport protocols means a manager’s packets will be subject
to the same conditions as normal traffic. Thus, if delays are high, a manager will find out immediately.
