130 USING THE M204’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Managing With SNMP
age the agent. A MIB file is simply a formal description of the way an agent can be
accessed using SNMP and what functions can be managed.
The M204 is a fully manageable SNMP agent that supports MIB-II, custom MIB’s
and traps.
MIB II Support
The M204 is MIB II compliant allowing SNMP managers to monitor protocol, net-
work, and routing statistics.
Custom MIBs and Traps
The M204 provides a custom MIB definition file which consists of 150 variables and
three traps. This MIB file allows you to monitor and configure the Print Server
directly. In fact, the MIB file represents all of the possible configuration options such
as destination settings, network configurations, print queue status, loading of defaults,
etc.
The M204’s custom MIB definition file is included on the host software disk in a file
called m204mib.txt. This file can also be downloaded from the Microplex FTP site
(ftp.microplex.com: support/m204/misc/m204mib.txt) or can be accessed via the
Microplex Web site (http://www.microplex.com/microplex/support.html/).
Custom MIB Variables
The variables found within the custom MIB definition file describe every type of inter-
nal information that can be accessed on the M204 by an SNMP manager. These vari-
ables can be divided into two groups: system variables and product variables.
System Variables
The first grouping of variables contains general information about the Print Server
such as firmware version, serial number, etc. In addition to these, it includes a trap
table which defines what SNMP managers will receive the traps generated by the
M204. The trap table can have up to ten entries, but only the first entry is saved to
EEPROM.
Product Variables
The second grouping of variables contains information defining all of the remaining
functionality of the Print Server. The product variables are divided into:
config group All configuration components such as models,
