SNMP is a set of protocols designed to help manage complex networks. SNMP-compliant
devices store data about themselves in MIBs and return this data to the SNMP requestors. The
SNMP configuration pages provide control over SNMP security, including the methods to
configure:

„

Administrative and Key User Accounts with privacy and authentication protocols and
keys associated with each account.

„

SNMP user account read or read/write access.

„

An access control list that limits SNMP access to the printer specific hosts.

Note:

The Current State field on the SNMP Configuration page identifies the SNMP

enable/disable status. Possible values include SNMP v3 Enabled, SNMP v1/v2c Enabled,
and All SNMP Protocols Disabled.

Configuring SNMP for Maximum Security
