Disabling SNMP

If you are using SNMP, you must configure it using the EWS. If you are not using SNMP, disable
it to prevent unauthorized access through applications that use SNMP. For information on
disabling SNMP, see

Disabling SNMP

on page 58.

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 ColorTrack 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

Note:

An SSL certificate must be established on the printer to enable SNMP v3. In most

cases, a certificate is automatically established when the printer is first turned on and no
other action is required.

Use the EWS to configure SNMP for maximum security:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser Address field. For details, see

Finding the

Printer’s IP Address

on page 13.

3. Click the Properties tab.
4. For selecting SSL:

a. On the left navigation pane, expand the Security folder, then select HTTPS.
b. If prompted, enter your Admin or Key User name and password.
c. On the HTTPS page, in the Use SSL field of the Configure HTTPS box, select To

Secure Pages and Passwords.
