Description
The print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.
You can use all Brother 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 SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-
only access mode, some Brother 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:
• You can use only Web Based Management to manage the
print server
• 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.
