Configuring SNMPv1/v2c

SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) is the initial implementation of the SNMP protocol. SNMPv1 operates over
protocols such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP), IP, and Novell Internet Packet Exchange (IPX).
SNMPv2c includes improvements in performance, confidentiality, and manager-to-manager
communications over SNMPv1, however it uses the simple-community based security scheme of SNMPv1.
In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.

3.
4. Type a name up to 256 characters for the GET Community Name or use the default value of public.
GET returns the password for the SNMP GET requests to the printer. Applications obtaining
information from the printer using SNMP, such as CentreWare Internet Services, use this password.
5. Type a name up to 256 characters for the SET Community Name or use the default value of private.
SET returns the password for the SNMP SET requests to the printer. Applications that set information
on the printer using SNMP use this password.
CAUTION: Changes made to the GET or SET community names for this printer require corresponding
changes to GET or SET community names applications using SNMP.
6. Type a name up to 256 characters for the default TRAP Community Name or use the default value
of SNMP_TRAP.
Note: Use the Default TRAP Community Name to specify the default community name for all traps
generated by this printer. Individual Trap Community Names specified for each trap destination
address can override the community name. Each Trap Community Name must be unique.
Click Save to apply the new settings or Undo to retain the previous settings.

Configuring SNMPv3

SNMPv3 is the current standard version of SNMP defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
It provides three important security features:

Message integrity to ensure that a packet has not been tampered with in transit

Authentication to verify that the message is from a valid source

Encryption of packets to prevent unauthorized access
Before you begin:

Ensure that Secure HTTP (SSL) is enabled.

Ensure that a certificate is installed on the printer.
