Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for
remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e.
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 5570e/AXIS 5670e 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 5570e/AXIS 5670e supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and
also includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on
page 200.
