Network Configuration

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention. This protocol consists of
a set of standards for network management including an application layer, a database schema, and a
set of data objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in the SNMPv3 engine of the printer. A
manager is an SNMPv3 management application, such as OpenView, that is used to monitor and
configure devices on the network. The agent responds to read (GET) and write (SET) requests from the
manager and can also generate alert messages, or Traps, based on certain events.
SNMP settings can be configured in CentreWare Internet Services. You can also enable or disable
Authentication Failure Generic Traps on the printer. SNMPv3 can be enabled to create an encrypted
channel for secure printer management.
