ACI SNMP Overview
SNMP is Simple Network Management Protocol which is UDP based network protocol. The SNMP protocol governs the network management and monitoring of your network devices.
Cisco ACI provides SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 support, including Management Information Bases (MIBs) and notifications (traps). The SNMP standard allows any third-party applications that support the different MIBs to manage and monitor the ACI leaf & spine switches and APIC controllers.
Just wanted to mention that ROOT access can only be granted by a Cisco ACI TAC Engineer and that you will need to work with the Cisco TAC when troubleshooting with ROOT Access.
