SNMP Plug-in is a network management application based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
With SNMP Plug-in, you can manage your network efficiently because most intelligent network devices support SNMP.
With SNMP Plug-in, in addition to the AMF Network that can be managed by the Vista Manager application, AMF Network devices and non-AMF Network devices that use SNMP can be displayed and managed on the Network Map.

## Support Limits

Number of devices which can be monitored by SNMP Plug-in is as follows.

> Note

  > Note

  > > The maximum number may vary depending on other plug-ins and devices, so please also check the documents posted on our website.
