SNMP
SNMP is the protocol used to communicate between manager and
agent. Managers request information, usually through automated
polling at specified intervals, and agents respond. Though used
primarily on TCP/IP networks, SNMP can be implemented on other
protocols, for example, IPX.
SNMP is a standard by which a network manager can get statistics
and configuration information from the Ethernet Interfaces and
other devices on the network. This is done through a Network
Management Station (NMS) such as NetView
.
The Printer Management Utility Software (PMU)
The IBM printer manager utility is a versatile and dynamic program.
It allows you to organize all of the printers in your office remotely in
a single database, download software and printer settings from a
host computer with a single mouse click, and use a virtual
operator's panel to configure printers in the same room or on the
other side of the world. Refer to IBM Printer Management Utility
User’s Manual for more details on this tool.
Monitoring Tools
SMART
Many tools can be used to monitor printers with SNMP agents. One
of these tools is NetView. There are also other MIB browsers which
are not described here.
OS/2 TCP/IP
To get SNMP.EXE to work correctly to browse MIB items, you may
need to delete the following file:
