SNMP devices scanning and inventory

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely adopted protocol that is designed for managing network devices such as routers, switches, servers, network printers, and other network-attached appliances. It enables network administrators to monitor and configure these devices remotely, thereby providing a centralized and efficient approach to network management.

SNMP network discovery software

Maintain a comprehensive inventory of your local area network by performing an SNMP scan! Total Network Inventory enables you to build an inventory of your entire network without the need for a complex scanner setup. The SNMP network discovery tool will automatically scan your network for devices and collect detailed information about each router, switch, network printer, and other managed devices in just one pass.

Using the SNMP scanner, network administrators can quickly inventory their network infrastructure, including routers, switches, printers, VoIP systems, and other managed devices.

The SNMP discovery tool in Total Network Inventory offers several benefits:

  • Discover and map all SNMP-enabled devices on your network without the need for manual intervention.
  • Create a detailed inventory of your network infrastructure, including hardware characteristics, software versions, and configuration data.
  • Monitor device health, performance, and status for carrying out proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.

Watch the printer toner levels over the network

One of the many powerful features of Total Network Inventory is the ability to check the toner levels of printers on the network. By querying SNMP-enabled printers, the program obtains information about ink or toner levels, allowing administrators to proactively manage printer inventory and maintenance.

In addition, TNI can provide alerts and notifications when the printer toner levels fall below the specified thresholds, which enables administrators to take prompt action and avoid interruptions in printing services.

Reports

SNMP network management tools typically provide detailed reports and analysis capabilities in order to help administrators understand and optimize their network infrastructure. TNI offers comprehensive reporting and visualization features:

  • Generate printable reports containing detailed information about the hardware and software discovered on your network, including device specifications, configurations, and inventory data.
  • TNI includes a built-in MIB (Management Information Base) file package and supports integrating additional MIB files from external sources. MIBs define the variables and data structures that are used by SNMP agents. That makes for better decryption and the interpretation of SNMP data.
  • The SNMP tree displays the collected information in a hierarchical format, along with detailed hints for each field, thereby facilitating easier navigation and a better understanding of the SNMP inventory data.
  • TNI can track and analyze historical data, enabling administrators to identify trends, detect performance issues, and anticipate any potential problems before they occur.
