Snmp - Xerox VersaLink Series System Administrator Manual

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of network protocols designed to allow you to
manage and monitor devices on your network.
You can use the SNMP configuration pages in the Embedded Web Server to:
• Enable or disable Authentication Failure Generic Traps.
• Enable SNMPv3 to create an encrypted channel for secure printer management.
• Assign privacy, authentication protocols, and keys to Administrative and key user accounts.
• Assign read and write access to User accounts.
• Limit SNMP access to the printer using hosts.

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.
SNMPv1/v2c uses the following community names:
• Community Name Read Only: The Community Name Read Only returns the password for the
SNMP GET requests to the printer. Applications that obtain information from the printer using
SNMP, such as the Embedded Web Server, use this password. The default value is public.
• Community Name Read/Write: The Community Name Read/Write returns the password for the
SNMP SET requests to the printer. Applications that set information on the printer using SNMP use
this password. The default value is private.
• Default TRAP Community Name: The Default TRAP Community Name specifies the default
community name for all traps that the printer generates. Individual Trap Community Names that
are specified for each trap destination address can override the community name. Ensure that you
make each Trap Community Name unique. The default value is SNMP_trap.
Note: Changes made to the community names for this printer require corresponding changes
to GET or SET community name applications using SNMP.
To configure SNMPv1/v2c:
1. In the Embedded Web Server, log in as administrator, then click Connectivity.
2. In the Protocols area, click SNMP.
3. For Port, click the toggle button.
4. For Send Authentication Error Traps, click the toggle button.
5. Click SNMPv1/v2.
6. If needed, for Community Name Read Only, type an SNMP GET name.
7. If needed, for Community Name Read/Write, type an SNMP SET name.
