Managing the Machine via SNMP

Overview

If you manage network devices using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), you can acquire the information of this machine and monitor it via the network. This machine support the TCP/IP and IPX environments.

Using SNMP TRAP function enables you to notify the specified IP address or IPX address of a warning occurred on this machine.

To manage this machine via SNMP, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

  1. Configure the settings for using this machine in a TCP/IP or an IPX environment.
    • To use it in a TCP/IP environment, refer to Here.
    • To use it in an IPX environment, refer to Here.
  2. Configure the settings for using SNMP
    • For details on configuring the setting, refer to Here.
