Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP)

Overview

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to communicate management functions between an SNMP manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a user program the network administrator can use to manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get information from the agent or alter Set information on the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited message Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual condition.

The OkiLAN 6120e is a fully functional SNMP agent and supports, to the extent of open industry standards such as RFC 1759, any standard SNMP management platform, including:

•HP OpenView

•Novell NMS

•Sun SunNet Manager

•IBM NetView

Private MIB

OkiLAN 6120e SNMP support has been enhanced with a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150 configuration and status variables for the network protocols, printer ports, network interface, printer settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6120e status. Printer status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer and printer error are also provided.

The setting of certain variables causes an immediate firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private MIB under cmdReset.
