Note
Cipher suites support different levels of encryption
strength. The cipher suites currently supported for
encryption and decryption are DES (Data
Encryption Standard, 56-bit), RC4 (40-bit or
128-bit), and 3DES (168-bit).
SNMP
Use this tab to enable or disable SNMP v1, v2c and v3 agents on
the print server, depending on the print server model. Value-based
print servers do not support an SNMP v3 agent. For a description
of SNMP selections, see
Table 4.4
.
SNMP v3.
The HP Jetdirect print server includes an SNMP v3
(Simple Network Management Protocol, version 3) agent, for
enhanced SNMP security. The SNMP v3 agent employs a
User-based Security Model for SNMP v3 (RFC 2574), which
features user-authentication and data privacy through encryption.
The SNMP v3 agent is enabled when an initial SNMP v3 account
on the print server is created. Once the account is created, any
SNMP management application, if properly configured, can access
or disable the account.
CAUTION
If you use HP Web Jetadmin to manage your
devices, you should use HP Web 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.
You may create the initial account by specifying the HMAC-MD5
authentication and CBC-DES data privacy encryption keys used by
your SNMP v3 management application.
