From version 7.1 onward, Lansweeper allows you to import and export custom SNMP OID targets into and from other Lansweeper installations. This enables you to migrate your custom OID scanning targets between installations and to share targets with other Lansweeper users, e.g. through our online forum.
SNMP is one of the protocols through which Lansweeper can retrieve data from network devices like printers, switches, routers etc. By default, Lansweeper retrieves various properties from these devices via SNMP. This includes basic details like serial number and description, but also more advanced details like interface and printer toner information. A device that has been successfully scanned via SNMP can be identified by the device OID listed in its Summary tab.
