Section 9: Management & Configuration
AXIS 5600+ User’s Manual
118
Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for
remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5600+. 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 5600+ SNMP implementation runs in TCP/IP and
NetWare (IPX) networks.
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 5600+ supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and of the host
resources MIB. The AXIS 5600+ also includes a private enterprise
MIB, the AXIS MIB.
