Security Features 162
SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name (IP/IPX)
(SNMP v1/v2c only)
●
A password on the HP Jetdirect print server that allows incoming SNMP Set
commands (for example, from management software) to write (or
set
)
HP Jetdirect configuration parameters.
●
For a user-assigned Set Community Name, SNMP Set commands must
contain the user-assigned name, which is authenticated by the print server
before the command is performed.
●
On IP networks, authentication of SNMP Set commands may be further
restricted to systems identified on the access control list.
●
Configured on the HP Jetdirect print server using TFTP (
Chapter 3
), Telnet
(
Chapter 3
), embedded Web server (
Chapter 4
), or Management application
services.
●
SNMP v1/v2c uses plain text and can be disabled.
SNMP v3
(For full-featured print servers only)
●
An SNMP v3 agent on the HP Jetdirect print server provides secure, encrypted
communications with an SNMP v3 management application, such as HP Web
Jetadmin.
●
The print server supports creation of an SNMP v3 account when it is enabled
through the embedded Web server. The account information can be integrated
on SNMP v3 management applications.
●
The print server supports seamless SNMP v3 account creation and
management from HP Web Jetadmin.
HP Web Jetadmin Password and Profiles
●
Access control to Jetdirect configuration parameters through the Jetdirect IP
Administrator password, which may be configured from HP Web Jetadmin,
Telnet, or embedded Web server. For instructions, refer to the HP Web
Jetadmin online help.
●
HP Web Jetadmin provides access control through User Profiles. User Profiles
allow password protection for individual profiles and controlled access to
HP Jetdirect and printer features. For more information, refer to the HP Web
Jetadmin online help.
●
(For full-featured print servers only) HP Web Jetadmin can seamlessly enable
the SNMP v3 agent on the print server, and create an SNMP v3 account for
secure, encrypted management.
Printer Control Panel Lock
●
Selected HP printers provide a control panel lock that prevents access to
HP Jetdirect embedded print server configuration parameters. In many cases,
this lock may be set remotely by management applications (such as HP Web
Jetadmin). To determine whether your printer supports a control panel lock,
refer to your printer documentation.
