Configuring SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for monitoring and controlling communication devices in a network by accessing a Management Information Base (MIB). Configure these settings according to the purpose of use and environment of the machine.
The machine supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. You can also use both at the same time. Trap notification is not supported.
When SNMP management software is installed on the network, you can use the software to configure, monitor, and control the machine remotely from a computer. For more information, see the manual of the software you are using.

SNMPv1
SNMPv1 defines the scope of communication using information called a "community name." As the community name is sent to the network in plain text, the security of the network is vulnerable. To ensure network security, disable SNMPv1 and use SNMPv3. When SNMPv1 is disabled, you will not be able to use some functions such as obtaining information from the machine using the printer driver.
SNMPv3
SNMPv3 communicates using user information for SNMPv3. This protocol enables you to configure the authentication and encryption in the user information to monitor and control communication devices on the network with a solid security system.
This section describes how to configure the settings using Remote UI from a computer.
On the control panel, select [Menu] in the [Home] screen, and then select [Preferences] to configure the settings. However, the control panel can only be used to enable or disable SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. [SNMP Settings]
Administrator privileges are required. The machine must be restarted to apply the settings.

To configure SNMPv3, you must enable TLS. Using TLS |
1
Log in to Remote UI in System Manager Mode. Starting Remote UI
2
On the Portal page of Remote UI, click [Settings/Registration]. Portal Page of Remote UI
3
Click [Network Settings] 
[SNMP Settings] [Edit].
[SNMP Settings] [Edit].The [Edit SNMP Settings] screen is displayed.
4
In [SNMPv1 Settings], set SNMPv1.
To Enable SNMPv1
1 | Select the [Use SNMPv1] checkbox. |
2 | Configure the community. You can set MIB Access Permission (permission to read/write to MIB objects) for each community. When using both SNMPv1 and SNMPv3, it is recommended to set MIB Access Permission to [Read Only]. When setting SNMPv1 to [Read/Write] (full-access permission), you can perform nearly all operations, and therefore, you are not able to use the solid security features of SNMPv3. To Configure the Community Name Select the [Use Community Name 1] or [Use Community Name 2] checkbox, and configure the community name and MIB Access Permission. Enter the community name using single-byte alphanumeric characters. To Configure a Dedicated Community Dedicated Community is a preset community for Canon Device Management software. To use Dedicated Community, select the [Use Dedicated Community] checkbox, and configure MIB Access Permission. * For details, see the manual of the software you are using. |
To Disable SNMPv1
Clear the [Use SNMPv1] checkbox.
5
In [SNMPv3 Settings], configure SNMPv3.
To Enable SNMPv3
1 | Select the [Use SNMPv3] checkbox. |
2 | In [User Settings 1], [User Settings 2], or [User Settings 3], select the [Enable User] checkbox. |
3 | Configure the user. [User Name] Enter the user name using single-byte alphanumeric characters. [MIB Access Permission] Set the read/write permission to MIB objects for each specified user. To allow both read and write, select [Read/Write]. [Security Settings] Select whether to enable or disable authentication and encryption. [Authentication Algorithm] When [Authentication On/Encryption On] or [Authentication On/Encryption Off] is selected in [Security Settings], select the authentication algorithm according to the usage environment. To set a password, select the [Set/Change Password] checkbox, and enter the same password in both [Authentication Password] and [Confirm] using single-byte alphanumeric characters. [Encryption Algorithm] When [Authentication On/Encryption On] is selected in [Security Settings], select the encryption algorithm according to the usage environment. To set a password, select the [Set/Change Password] checkbox, and enter the same password in both [Encryption Password] and [Confirm] using single-byte alphanumeric characters. |
To Disable SNMPv3
Clear the [Use SNMPv3] checkbox.
6
In [Printer Management Information Acquisition Settings], select whether to obtain the printer management information.
To regularly obtain printer management information from the machine, such as protocols and ports, select the [Acquire Printer Management Information from Host] checkbox.
7
Click [OK].
