If you are using SNMP, you must configure it using CentreWare IS. If you are not using
SNMP, disable it to prevent unauthorized access through applications that use SNMP. For
information on disabling SNMP, see
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.
