Monitoring And Controlling Via Snmp - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i III User Manual

Monitoring and Controlling via SNMP

SNMP is a protocol for monitoring and controlling communication devices on a network on the basis of a management
information database called MIB. You can check the machine's error information and the number of prints through a
computer. The machine supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 in which security functions are enhanced. You can use either
of the two or both. Set each function according to your environment and purposes.
SNMPv1
SNMPv1 determines the communication range on the basis of information called community name. However,
as community names are sent to networks as plain text, they may be vulnerable to security issues. To ensure
safety, invalidate SNMPv1 and use SNMPv3.
SNMPv3
SNMPv3 enables you to implement network device management with strong security functions.
● When SNMP management software is usable, you can set, monitor, and control the machine through
a computer. For details, see your software's instruction manuals.
