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 supports the TCP/IP environment.
Using the SNMP TRAP function also enables you to notify the specified IP address of a warning that occurred on this machine.
To manage this machine via SNMP, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.
