must be established from the settings page. To configure for SNMPv3 through the Embedded Web
Server of the printer:
1
Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to
configure using the format: http://ip_address/.
2
Click Configuration.
3
Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4
Click SNMP.
SNMPv3 authentication and encryption has three levels of support:
•
No authentication and no encryption
•
Authentication with no encryption
•
Authentication and encryption
Note: Only the selected level and higher may be used to communicate.
Supporting IPSec (Internet Protocol Security)
IP Security protocol provides authentication and encryption of communications at the network layer
allowing all application and network communications over the IP protocol to be secure. IPSec can be
set up between the printer and up to five hosts, using both IPv4 and IPv6. To configure IPSec
through the Embedded Web Server:
1
Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to
configure using the format: http://ip_address/.
2
Click Configuration.
3
Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4
Click IPSec.
Two types of authentication are supported for IPSec:
•
Shared Key Authentication-Any ASCII phrase shared among all the participating hosts.
This is the easiest way to configure when only a few hosts on the network use IPSec.
•
Certificate Authentication-Allows any hosts or subnet of hosts to authenticate for IPSec.
Each host must have a public/private key pair. Validate Peer Certificate is enabled by default,
requiring each host to have a signed certificate and the certificate authority certificate must
be installed. Each host must have its identifier in the Subject Alternate Name of the signed
certificate.
Note: After a device is configured for IPSec with a host, IPSec is required for any IP
communication to take place.
