SNMP interface is useful for programs, but the HTTP interface is useful mostly for human beings. That means, there is scope for automation in the case of SNMP.

Venkat,
 
I guess its basically the type of interface u want to use to manage ur network elements.
HTTP provides u the GUI, the snmp stack like the net-snmp software provides a strong CLI(command line interface).
however u can also use the tkmib browser,provided with net-snmp to get a feel of GUI.

Subject: Snmp vs HTTP

Hi,
   I have some basic questions regarding network management.
 
   There and 2 protocols that are used in network management products. They are SNMP and HTTP.
 
 
 What is the difference between them as far as network management is concerned and what is the reason they are used in thier respective products.
 
 
Why Snmp is chosen instead of Http and vice versa.
 
Regards,
Sri
