Snmp (Simple Network Management Protocol) - Xerox ColorQube 9201 System Administrator Manual

General Setup

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

It is possible to remotely define and modify GET, SET, and TRAP SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) community names for the device. You can also configure SNMP trap destinations for TCP/IP
and NetWare (IPX) that will receive traps from any device on the network.
SNMP Community Name properties that can be configured are:
• GET Returns the password for SNMP GET requests to the device. Applications obtaining
information from the device via SNMP, such as Xerox PrinterMap or Internet Services, use this
password.
• SET Returns the password for SNMP SET requests to the device. Applications that set information
on the device via SNMP, such as Xerox PrinterMap or Internet Services, use this password.
• TRAP Returns the password for SNMP TRAPS from the device. This is the default password for
SNMP TRAPS sent from the device via SNMP.

Note: Configure HTTPS before editing SNMP v3 Properties. Configuring this feature requires
secure web page communication.
Note: Turning off the SNMP protocols will cause an interruption in the communication between
the device and remote client applications.
For Edit SNMP v1/v2c Properties:
a. Enter a name (up to 256 characters) for the [GET Community Name]. The default is public.
b. Enter a name (up to 256 characters) for the [SET Community Name]. The default is private.
Note: Changes made to the GET or SET community names for this device will require
corresponding GET or SET community name changes for each application which uses the SNMP
protocol to communicate with this device (for example, Xerox PrinterMap, Xerox Internet Services,
any 3rd party network management applications).
CAUTION: If you change the GET and/or SET Community Names, you must change all network
applications that are communicating via SNMP with this device to use the new GET/SET names.
