SK0-003 · Question #241

Which of the following must be configured on printers so that the server can properly monitor details on page counts?

The correct answer is C. SNMP. To enable a server to monitor printer details such as page counts, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) must be configured on the printers. SNMP allows network devices to share management information with a central monitoring system.

Why each option

To enable a server to monitor printer details such as page counts, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) must be configured on the printers. SNMP allows network devices to share management information with a central monitoring system.

AWMI

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a management infrastructure primarily for Windows-based operating systems and is not typically used for monitoring printer page counts from a server across a network.

BDHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for automatically assigning IP addresses and other network configuration parameters, and has no role in monitoring printer page counts.

CSNMPCorrect

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. Printers supporting SNMP can be queried by a monitoring server to retrieve data like page counts, toner levels, and status.

DMIB

MIB (Management Information Base) is a database of objects that can be managed by SNMP, but it is not a protocol to be configured on the printer itself; rather, SNMP uses MIBs to define the data structure.
