Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and control system for monitoring plurality of equipment in industrial plant connected over SNMP based network. Each of plurality of equipment is associated with a server which is communicatively connected with client. One or more equipment which are capable of reporting monitoring objects are identified using a configuration file. Further, polling for monitoring objects based on capability data associated with one or more equipment is performed. Secure configuration of plurality of equipment in SNMP based network is achieved. Management of network traffic is performed. Unauthorized extraction of monitoring objects is reduced in the network.
