SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems
to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention.
It consists of a set of standards for network management including an application layer,
a database schema, and a set of data objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in
the printer's SNMPv3 engine. A manager is an SNMPv3 management application such
as OpenView, that is used to monitor and configure devices on the network. The agent
responds to read (GET) and write (SET) requests from the manager and can also generate
alert messages, or Traps, based on certain events.
SNMP settings can be configured in CentreWare Internet Services. You can also enable
or disable Authentication Failure Generic Traps on the printer. SNMPv3 can be enabled
to create an encrypted channel for secure printer management.
Enabling SNMP
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Port Settings.
2. Next to SNMP, select Enabled.
3. Select UDP and IPX to enable these transport protocols if necessary.
Configuring SNMP
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols >
SNMP Configuration.
2. Under SNMP Properties, select Enable SNMP v1/v2c Protocols, or Enable SNMP
v3 Protocol, then click Apply.
3. Under Authentication Failure Generic Traps, select Enabled if you want the printer
to generate a trap for every SNMP request that is received by the printer that
contains an invalid community name.
4. Click Apply.
Note
You must click Apply to save your settings or the protocol will remain disabled.
Editing SNMP v1/v2c Properties
Note
Xerox recommends that you change the SNMP v1/v2c public and private community
names from the default values for security purposes.
