All majorfunctions for print servers are supported.General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including aprotocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects. TheAxis Network Print Server SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IPenvironment.The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)software running on a host on your network. The NMS softwarecommunicates with network devices by the means of messages, which arereferences to one or more objects.A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarmtriggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in databases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is astandard database.The Axis Network Print Server supports all relevant parts of MIB-II andalso includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on page99.System Requirementsfor SNMPThe following requirements must be fulfilled in order to make full use ofthe Axis Network Print Server SNMP support:• NMS software that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs• A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS softwareFollow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
