Using SNMP for Print Server Management
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remotely
monitoring and configuring of the Axis Network Print Server. All major
functions for print servers are supported.
General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including a
protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects. The
Axis Network Print Server SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IP
environment.
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)
software running on a host on your network. The NMS software
communicates with network devices by the means of messages, which are
references to one or more objects.
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm
triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data
bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a
standard database.
The Axis Network Print Server supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and
also includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on page
115.
System Requirements
for SNMP
The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to make full use of
the Axis Network Print Server SNMP support:
• NMS software that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs
• A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS software
Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
1. Log in to the Axis Network Print Server using FTP.
2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the NMS host.
3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS software
documentation.
