SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of network protocols designed to allow you to
manage and monitor devices on your network.
You can use the SNMP configuration pages in CentreWare Internet Services to:
•
Enable or disable Authentication Failure Generic Traps.
•
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.

Under GET Community Name, type a name.
GET returns the password for the SNMP GET requests to the printer. Applications obtaining
information from the printer using SNMP, such as CentreWare Internet Services, use this password.
5.
Under SET Community Name, type a name.
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:
Changes made to the GET or SET community names for this printer require corresponding
changes to the GET or SET community names for applications using SNMP.
