2. Select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | SNMP and set SNMPv3
Enabled to yes.
3. Create an initial user by entering two new passwords: one authentication
password and one privacy password. Each password must consist of at least
8 characters.
4. Click the Create initial user button.
Now your print server is ready to accept communication according to the
SNMPv3 protocol. For further management you will need an SNMPv3
management application; you use this application to configure the print
server, to create new user accounts and to control access to it. Also see
"Using SNMP" on page 95.
To update the initial user, select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View
| SNMP, enter the two passwords (one for authentication and one for privacy)
and click the Update initial user button.
IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication enables the print server to access
a network protected by 802.1X/EAPOL (Extensible Authentication
Protocol Over Lan). There are many EAP methods available to do this. The
one used here is EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security).
To gain access to the protected network, the print server presents its
certificate to the network switch and the network switch presents its
certificate to the print server. If both certificates are approved, the
network switch allows access on a preconfigured port.
To enable and configure the IEEE 802.1X security settings, select
Admin | Security Settings | 802.1X.
CA Certificate - The print server needs this to authenticate the certificate
in the network switch. The network switch's certificate is signed by a
trusted party, possibly an external Certificate Authority. The CA
Certificate is used by the print server to verify that the network switch's
certificate is signed by the CA, and that it is valid.
