SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention. It consists of a set of
standards for network management including an application layer, a database schema, and a set of
data objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in the printer’s SNMPv3 engine. A manager is an
SNMPv3 management application such as OpenView, that is used to monitor and configure devices on
the network. The agent responds to read (GET) and write (SET) requests from the manager and can
also generate alert messages, or Traps, based on certain events.
SNMP settings can be configured in CentreWare IS. You can also enable or disable Authentication
Failure Generic Traps on the printer. SNMPv3 can be enabled to create an encrypted channel for secure
printer management.
Note: If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing
CentreWare IS on page 17.
Configuring SNMP
1. In CentreWare IS, click
Properties
>
Connectivity
>
Protocols
>
SNMP
.
2. Under
SNMP Properties
, select
Enable SNMP v1/v2c Protocols
to enable the protocol.
3. Select
Enable SNMP v3 Protocol
to enable this protocol, then click
Apply
.
Note: You must click Apply to save your settings or the protocol will remain disabled.
4. Under
Authentication Failure Generic Traps
, select
Enabled
if you want the printer to generate a
trap for every SNMP request that is received by the printer that contains an invalid community
name.
Editing SNMP v1/v2c Properties
Note: Xerox recommends that you change the SNMP v1/v2c public and private community names
from the default values for security purposes.
1. In CentreWare IS, click
Properties
>
Connectivity
>
Protocols
>
SNMP
.
2. Under
SNMP Properties
, click
Edit SNMP v1/v2c Properties
.
3. Type a name up to 256 characters for the
GET Community Name
or use the default value of
public . GET returns the password for the SNMP GET requests to the printer. Applications obtaining
information from the printer using SNMP, such as CentreWare IS, use this password.
4. Type a name up to 256 characters for the
SET Community Name
or use the default value of
private. SET returns the password for the SNMP SET requests to the printer. Applications that set
information on the printer using SNMP, use this password
CAUTION: Any changes made to the GET or SET community names for this printer require
corresponding changes to GET or SET community names for each application that uses SNMP to
communicate with this printer.
