Using SNMP

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for

remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5470e. All major

functions for print servers are supported.

General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management,

including a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of

data objects. The AXIS 5470e SNMP implementation runs in the

TCP/IP environment.

The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)

software running on a host on your network. The NMS software

communicates with network devices by the means of messages,

which are references to one or more objects.

A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an

alarm triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained

in data bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where

MIB-II is a standard database.

The AXIS 5470e supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and also

includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on page

153.

of the AXIS 5470e SNMP support:

• A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS software

Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
