Security features

SNMPv3 read-write access

With this mode the print server uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server securely, use this mode.

Note

•When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, please note the following.

•You can manage the print server by using BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web Based Management only.

•Except for BRAdmin Professional 3, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.

•For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management.

Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3

(Windows®)

 

To use the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility securely, you need to follow the points below

We strongly recommend to use the latest version of the BRAdmin Professional 3 utility that is available as

adownload from http://solutions.brother.com/. If you use an older version of BRAdmin 1 to manage your Brother machines the user authentication will not be secure.

If you want to avoid access to your machine from older versions of BRAdmin 1, you need to disable the access from older versions of BRAdmin 1 from Advanced Setting of SNMP on Protocol page using Web Based Management. (See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser)

uupage 58.)

If you use BRAdmin Professional 3 and Web Based Management together, use Web Based Management with the HTTPS protocol. (See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser)

uupage 58.)

If you are managing a mixed group of older print servers 2 and print servers with BRAdmin Professional 3, we recommend using a different password in each group. This will ensure security is maintained on the new print servers.
