SNMP

You can specify or change the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) parameters provided. See Table 4.7.

CAUTION If you use HP Web Jetadmin to manage your devices, you should use HP Web Jetadmin to seamlessly configure SNMP v3 and other security settings on the print server.

Using the embedded Web server to create the SNMP v3 account will erase any existing SNMP v3 accounts. In addition, the SNMP v3 account information will need to be implemented on the SNMP management application. For more information, see SNMP v3.

Description

 

 

Enable SNMPv1/v2

This option enables the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print

read-write access

server. Custom community names can be configured to

 

 

control management access to the print server.

 

 

An SNMP Set Community Name is a password to be able

 

 

to configure (or “write”) SNMP information on the

 

 

HP Jetdirect print server.

 

 

An SNMP Get Community Name is a password to retrieve

 

 

(or “read”) SNMP information on the HP Jetdirect print

 

 

server.

 

 

An incoming SNMP SetRequest or GetRequest command

 

 

must contain the appropriate Set or Get community name

 

 

before the print server will respond.

 

 

A community name must be ASCII characters and can be

 

 

up to 255 characters long.

 

 

The default Get community name is “public”, which can be

 

 

disabled to restrict access by checking the checkbox

 

 

provided.

 

 

Note: If “public” is disabled, some port monitors or

 

 

discovery utilities may not operate properly.

 

 

Enable SNMPv1/v2

This option enables the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print

read-only access

server, but limits access to read-only. Write-access is

 

 

disabled. The default Get community name “public” is

 

 

automatically enabled.
