Chapter 14 Implementing Printer Management

MIB

An MIB contains information a device makes available through SNMP. The MIB is a management information base that describes information about actual objects to be managed and controlled.

Standards Of Network Printer MIBs

The Printer MIB is based on the following standards:

System and Interfaces Group MIB (RFC 1213 of March 1991)

Host Resource MIB (RFC 1514 of September 1993)

Printer MIB (RFC 1759 of March 1995)

Ethernet contains the Standard Printer MIB per RFC 1759, available from www.ietf.org.

Components Of The Printer MIB

The printer MIB gives the network manager access to most of the information that is normally accessible through the Ethernet Interface command set for configuring the server with SNMP. Some objects identified by this MIB are not applicable to the Ethernet Interface.

The printer MIB is composed of the following sections:
