Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000

Monitoring Tools

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.

Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000

The AIX NetView/6000 program can manage any IP-addressable device with an SNMP agent.

NetView/6000 can be used to set a network topology, monitor a network, diagnose problems, and measure network performance.

Through its MIB Browser, information about the resources affecting an event (such as an alarm) can be obtained.

Monitoring With Web JetAdmin

Web JetAdmin (version 6.x) can monitor IP addressable devices containing the printer MIB.

OS/2 TCP/IP

To get SNMP.EXE to work correctly to browse MIB items, you may need to delete the following file:

d:\mptn\etc\mib2.tbl

Setting The SNMP Community Name

The default SNMP read-only community name is “public” and cannot be changed.

Change the SNMP R/W community name with the command:

set user passwd snmp com_name save

where com_name is the new SNMP R/W community name.

The default is no R/W community name.

Note	Changing SNMP community names or access rights may hinder or disable
	applications that are monitoring your printers.
