Xerox D60327 User Manual

This chapter describes how to monitor the operations of the  Xerox 4500
PS TR and how to troubleshoot the supported protocols during
installation, configuration, and printing.

The operations of the  Xerox 4500 PS TR may be monitored using the
SNMP (MIB II) or the LEDs on the rear panel.

The Xerox 4500 PS TR has been added support for SNMP using TCP/IP
as protocol for LAN access. The SNMP operates as a monitoring tool for
the Xerox 4500 PS TR .

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an application protocol
offering network management services in the Internet Protocol suite to
operate in connection with installation, configuration and management of
the PS.

SNMP defines a client/server relationship. The client program is the
connection to the SNMP agent (the PS) which is referred to as the SNMP
Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP implementation in the
Xerox 4500 PS TR supports the MIB II.
There are, however, exceptions to the extension of MIB II support:

The SET option on different objects (ARP table, ROUTE table, etc.) will
not be supported and any attempt to SET the objects will be rejected.

No support for EGP and Transmission Group.

By default the application uses the community string “public” for SNMP
GET and SET operations. If the community string used by NMS (Network
Management System) does not match the one expected by the SNMP
agent in the managed device, the operation fails.

NOTE:
You should be aware that a small amount of knowledge is required for
general use the SNMP. It is assumed that you have basic networking
knowledge (protocols, addressing, network errors, etc). For more
advanced use of SNMP, you are required a substantial amount of
knowledge.
