Description: Defines parallel printer interface management objects for port status and control per RFC 1318.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is RFC1318-MIB?

RFC1318-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF standards MIB (RFC 1318, the Parallel-Printer-like Interface Type MIB) defining managed objects for parallel printer port interfaces on network devices. No sample objects were provided in this batch, but per the RFC it typically defines port status, error, and control objects for a parallel interface acting as a standard interface type under the IF-MIB framework. Its monitoring value would be low-level port status (e.g., error/busy/paper-out signal states) reflecting the hardware condition of a directly attached parallel-port peripheral rather than general system health. As an interface-type extension, it depends on and is indexed alongside the standard IF-MIB (MIB-II ifTable) interface table. It would historically be deployed on network devices or print servers exposing a parallel printer port as a managed network interface. Engineers can download the RFC1318-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RFC1318-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
print servers/devices with parallel printer ports

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this MIB, so a concrete monitoring scenario cannot be constructed from grounded object names; per RFC 1318, this MIB would typically be used to check the status of a parallel port interface (indexed via ifIndex) such as error, paper-out, or select signal states on a printer-facing port.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
para	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34
INT paraNumber	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.1	INTEGER	read-only	The number of ports (regardless of their current state) in the Parallel-printer-like port table.
paraPortTable	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2		not-accessible	A list of port entries. The number of entries is given by the value of paraNumber.
paraPortEntry	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1		not-accessible	Status and parameter values for a port.
INT paraPortIndex	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique value for each port. Its value ranges between 1 and the value of paraNumber. By convention and if possible, hardware port numbers map directly to external connectors. The value for each port must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the network management agent to the next.
INT paraPortType	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	The port's hardware type.
INT paraPortInSigNumber	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The number of input signals for the port in the input signal table (paraPortInSigTable). The table contains entries only for those signals the software can detect.
INT paraPortOutSigNumber	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.2.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	The number of output signals for the port in the output signal table (paraPortOutSigTable). The table contains entries only for those signals the software can assert.
paraInSigTable	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3		not-accessible	A list of port input control signal entries.
paraInSigEntry	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1		not-accessible	Input control signal status for a hardware port.
INT paraInSigPortIndex	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The value of paraPortIndex for the port to which this entry belongs.
INT paraInSigName	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	Identification of a hardware signal.
INT paraInSigState	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The current signal state.
CTR paraInSigChanges	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.4	Counter	read-only	The number of times the signal has changed from 'on' to 'off' or from 'off' to 'on'.
paraOutSigTable	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.4		not-accessible	A list of port output control signal entries.
paraOutSigEntry	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.4.1		not-accessible	Output control signal status for a hardware port.
INT paraOutSigPortIndex	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.4.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The value of paraPortIndex for the port to which this entry belongs.
INT paraOutSigName	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.4.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	Identification of a hardware signal.
INT paraOutSigState	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.4.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The current signal state.
CTR paraOutSigChanges	1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.4.1.4	Counter	read-only	The number of times the signal has changed from 'on' to 'off' or from 'off' to 'on'.
