Using SNMP

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5400. 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 5400 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 5400 supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and of the host resources MIB. The AXIS 5400 also includes a private enterprise MIB, the AXIS MIB.
