Lexmark SNMP MIB and OID Values Explained (May 2019)

Lexmark SNMP MIB and OID Values Explained

Issue description

SNMP
, short for
Simple Network Management Protocol
, is a set of protocols for managing network devices. SNMP works by sending messages called protocol data units (PDU) to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices
*
 called "agents" store data about themselves in
Management Information Bases
 (
MIB
) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
*
 Lexmark printers are SNMP-compliant devices.

MIB versions

Lexmark network laser printers support version 1 of the printer MIB. The Lexmark1.MIB draws off the RFC1759 and printer 3805 V2 standards. For some queries, the Lexmark printer replies “unknown” which is a valid response according to the RFC.

Examples of MIB implementation

Duplex MIB
 (OID – Object Identifier)
:
Using
prtMediaPathDescription
 (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.13.4.1.10) should yield a return value:
  • SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.13.4.1.10.1.2 = STRING: "
    Duplex
     Paper Path"
If a duplex is not recognized, you would only expect to see the return value:
  • SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.13.4.1.10.1.1 = STRING: "
    Primary
     Paper Path"
Color MIB (
OID
):
Using
prtMarkerSuppliesDescription
 (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6) should yield a return value of the printer supplies. A partial list of return values is shown below. Values vary by printer model since different models have different supplies.
  • SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.6.1.1 = STRING: "
    Black Cartridge
    "
  • SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.6.1.2 = STRING: "
    Cyan Cartridge
    "
  • SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.6.1.3 = STRING: "
    Fuser
    "
  • SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.6.1.4 = STRING: "
    Transfer Module
    "
  • SSNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.6.1.5 = STRING: "
    Magenta Cartridge
    "
