Snmp Object Manager
The Snmp Object Manager is the default view of the SnmpObjectDeviceExt. This view provides a single database pane that allows you to add Snmp Object types and folders using the buttons at the
bottom of the view. The added Snmp Objects allow you to expose any Snmp ASN data type instead of just the string type supported
in the tables.
