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 6120i 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 6120i 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 6120i 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.
