SNMP is a set of protocols designed to help manage complex networks. SNMP-compliant devices store
data about themselves in MIBs and return this data to the SNMP requestors. The SNMP configuration
pages provide control over SNMP security, including the methods to configure:
•
Administrative and Key User Accounts with privacy and authentication protocols and keys
associated with each account.
•
SNMP user account read or read/write access.
•
An access control list that limits SNMP access to the printer-specific hosts.
Note:
The Current State field on the SNMP Configuration page identifies the SNMP
enable/disable status. Possible values include SNMP v3 Enabled, SNMP v1/v2c Enabled, and All
SNMP Protocols Disabled.

required.
