SNMP
SNMP is the protocol used to communicate between manager and
agent. Managers request information, usually through automated
polling at specified intervals, and agents respond. Though used
primarily on TCP/IP networks, SNMP can be implemented on other
protocols, for example, IPX.
SNMP is a standard by which a network manager can get statistics
and configuration information from the NICs and other devices on
the network. This is done through a Network Management Station
(NMS) such as NetView .

Monitoring Tools

Many tools can be used to monitor printers with SNMP agents. One
of these tools is NetView. There are also other MIB browsers which
are not described here.
