SMC Networks SMCWPS-G manual Installation Procedure, Snmp Setup

Installation Procedure

1.At your file server console, type “load install”.

2.Select “NCF files options”.

3.Select “Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file”.

4.Add or Modify the “SET BINDERY CONTEXT =” line to include the NDS organization (O) and all organization unit (OU) objects where users are located. For example: SET

BINDERY CONTEXT = O=ABC; OU=SALES.OU=ABC-USA.O=ABC; OU=TECH.OU=ABC-USA.O=ABC ;

5.When done, save the new AUTOEXEC.NCF file. Please restart your NetWare file server in order for new settings to take effect immediately.

6.Next, please refer to “Auto Setup” section in this chapter to finish installing your print server.

7.Log into your NetWare file server as a Supervisor (Admin.) or equivalent via a Bindery connection.

8.Run NetWare’s PCONSOLE and add users to the “Queue Users” list.

9.From your NetWare client computer, such as Windows 95/98/Me, create a printer that is connected (redirected) to the NetWare print queue serviced by the print server.

Note: Please refer to NetWare’s Print Server/Services manuals for detailed PCONSOLE commands.

SNMP Setup

TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote network management and monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of database objects. The database objects are contained in a standard database called Management Information Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent. The print server's SNMP implementation runs in a TCP/IP environment.

A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software can access the print server device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The Network Management Systems are available from many third-party vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.

When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS software called SNMP manager, you need to provide a community name in each SNMP request for authentication purpose. The print server supports up to two community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only access right in default.
