Description
The print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all of
your printer's applications in this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not
authenticate the user and data will not be encrypted.
The print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of
version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only
access mode, some of your printer's applications that access the print
server do not work correctly since they authorize the read-only access of
version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, we recommend
using the SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.
The print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print
server securely, use this mode.
When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, note the following:
Except for BRAdmin Professional, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will
be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use the SNMPv3
read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMP v1/v2c read-
write access mode.
