manage and monitor devices on your network.
You can use the SNMP configuration pages in CentreWare Internet Services to:



Enable SNMPv3 to create an encrypted channel for secure printer management.

Assign privacy, authentication protocols, and keys to Administrative and key user accounts.

Assign read and write access to User accounts.

Limit SNMP access to the printer using hosts.

Configuring SNMPv1/v2c
SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) is the initial implementation of the SNMP protocol. SNMPv1 operates over
protocols such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP), IP, and Novell Internet Packet Exchange (IPX).
SNMPv2c includes improvements in performance, confidentiality, and manager-to-manager
communications over SNMPv1, however it uses the simple-community based security scheme of SNMPv1.
