Jetadmin to seamlessly configure SNMP v3 and other security settings on the print server.
Using the embedded Web server to create the SNMP v3 account will erase any existing SNMP
v3 accounts. In addition, the SNMP v3 account information will need to be implemented on the
SNMP management application. For more information, see

Description
This option enables the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print server. Custom community names
can be configured to control management access to the print server.
An SNMP Set Community Name is a password to be able to configure (or "write") SNMP
information on the HP Jetdirect print server.
An SNMP Get Community Name is a password to retrieve (or "read") SNMP information on the
HP Jetdirect print server.
An incoming SNMP SetRequest or GetRequest command must contain the appropriate Set or
Get community name before the print server will respond.
A community name must be ASCII characters and can be up to 255 characters long.
To restrict access, the default Get community name "public" can be disabled by checking the
checkbox provided.
NOTE If "public" is disabled, some port monitors or discovery utilities may not operate
properly.
This option enables the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print server, but limits access to read-only.
Write-access is disabled. The default Get community name "public" is automatically enabled.
This option disables the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print server, which is recommended for
secure environments. If SNMP v1/v2c is disabled, some port monitors or discovery utilities may
not operate properly.
(Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers only) This option enables (check) or disables (clear)
the SNMP v3 agent on the print server.
When enabled, an SNMP v3 account must be created on the print server, and the account
information must be implemented on the SNMP v3 management application. You may create
an account by providing the following information:
User Name: the SNMP v3 account user name.
Authentication Key: a 16-byte hexadecimal value for authenticating the SNMP packet contents
using the Message Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5, RFC 1321).
Privacy Key: a 16-byte hexadecimal value for encrypting the data portion of the SNMP packet
using the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm.
Context Name: the view context in which this user can access SNMP objects. It is always
"Jetdirect".
SNMP v3.
