Agreed.  And it REALLY isn't that complicated.  Go spend some time with

SNMP is really very straight forward as a protocol.  If a specific vendor's
MIB is difficult to understand or use, that is an entirely different matter.

        Doing network monitoring and not understanding SNMP is like,
        umm, well I fail to come up with an analogy, but you get my drift.
