OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
Chapter 1: SNMP
Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) pro-
vides network administrators with the ability to com-
municate management functions between an SNMP
manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a
user program the network administrator can use to
manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get
information from the agent or alter Set information on
the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited mes-
sage Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual
condition.
The OkiLAN 6010e is a fully functional SNMP agent
and supports any standard SNMP management plat-
form, including:
• HP OpenView
• Novell NMS
• Sun SunNet Manager
• IBM NetView
Private MIB
OkiLAN 6010e SNMP support has been enhanced with
a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP
and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150 configura-
tion and status variables for the network protocols,
printer ports, network interface printer settings, and the
overall OkiLAN 6010e status. Printer status traps such
as on-line, off-line, detached printer and printer error
are also provided.
