Enabling the SNMPv3 Protocol

Invoke the print server’s Web interface to enable the SNMPv3 protocol.

1. Select

Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP Network and

ensure that

HTTPS Enabled is set to yes to guarantee a secure

configuration.

Note: You must have a valid certificate loaded to be able to enable HTTPS.
See

“Enabling Secure Web Services — SSL/TLS” on page 115.

2. Select

Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | SNMP and set SNMPv3

Enabled to yes.

3. Create an

initial user by entering two new passwords: one authentication

password and one privacy password. Each password must consist of at least
8 characters.

4. Click the

Create initial user button.

Now your print server is ready to accept communication according to the

SNMPv3 protocol. For further management you will need an SNMPv3

management application; you use this application to configure the print

server, to create new user accounts and to control access to it. Also see

“Using SNMP for Print Server Management” on page 114.

To Update the Initial

User

To update the initial user, select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View

and click the

Update initial user button.
