NOTE
|
The machine does not support the trap notification feature of SNMP.
To change the port number of SNMP, see Changing Port Numbers.
SNMP management software, when installed on a computer on the network, enables you to configure, monitor, and control the machine remotely from the computer. For more information, see the instruction manuals for your management software.

[Read/Write]
|
Permits both viewing and changing the values of MIB objects.
|
[Read Only]
|
Permits only viewing the values of MIB objects.
|
1
|
Select the [Use SNMPv1] check box.
|
2
|
Select the [Use Community Name 1] or [Use Community Name 2] check box, enter the community name in the [Community Name] text box, and specify the [MIB Access Permission] setting.
Up to two community names can be registered.
|
3
|
Select the [Use Dedicated Community] check box and specify the [MIB Access Permission] setting.
|
[Read/Write]
|
Permits both viewing and changing the values of MIB objects.
|
[Read Only]
|
Permits only viewing the values of MIB objects.
|
1
|
Select the [Use SNMPv3] check box.
|
2
|
Select the [Enable User] check box and specify the [User Name], [MIB Access Permission], and [Security Settings] settings.
Up to three users can be registered.
|
3
|
Specify authentication and encryption settings as necessary.
Specify these settings only when [Authentication On/Encryption On] or [Authentication On/Encryption Off] has been selected for [Security Settings].
[Authentication Algorithm]
Click the [MD5] or [SHA1] radio button for the algorithm that corresponds to your network environment. [Encryption Algorithm]
Click the [DES] or [AES] radio button for the algorithm that corresponds to your network environment. [Set/Change Password]
To set or change the password, select the check box and enter between 6 and 16 alphanumeric characters for the password in the [Authentication Password]/[Encryption Password] text box. For confirmation, enter the same password in the [Confirm] text box. Passwords can be set independently for authentication and encryption algorithms. |
4
|
Specify the context name that identifies an SNMP context.
[Context Name 1]/[Context Name 2]/[Context Name 3]
Enter up to 32 alphanumeric characters for the context name. Up to three context names can be registered. |
NOTE
|
Disabling both SNMPv1 and SNMPv3If both versions of SNMP are disabled, some of the functions of the machine become unavailable, such as obtaining machine information via the printer driver.
Using the operation panelYou can enable or disable the SNMP settings from . SNMP Settings
|
Enabling Both SNMPv1 and SNMPv3
|
If both versions of SNMP are enabled, it is recommended that MIB access permission in SNMPv1 be set to [Read Only]. MIB access permission can be set independently in SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 (and for each user in SNMPv3). Selecting [Read/Write] (full access permission) in SNMPv1 negates the robust security features that characterize SNMPv3 because most of the machine settings can then be controlled with SNMPv1.
