HP J7949E Summary of HP Jetdirect Security Features 3, Snmp v1/v2c Set Community Name IP/IPX

Table 7.1 Summary of HP Jetdirect Security Features (3 of 3)

SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name (IP/IPX)

(SNMP v1/v2c only)

●A password on the HP Jetdirect print server that allows incoming SNMP Set commands (for example, from management software) to write (or set)

HP Jetdirect configuration parameters.

●For a user-assigned Set Community Name, SNMP Set commands must contain the user-assigned name, which is authenticated by the print server before the command is performed.

●On IP networks, authentication of SNMP Set commands may be further restricted to systems identified on the access control list.

●Configured on the HP Jetdirect print server using TFTP (Chapter 3), Telnet (Chapter 3), embedded Web server (Chapter 4), or Management application services.

●SNMP v1/v2c uses plain text and can be disabled.

SNMP v3

(For full-featured print servers only)

●An SNMP v3 agent on the HP Jetdirect print server provides secure, encrypted communications with an SNMP v3 management application, such as HP Web Jetadmin.

●The print server supports creation of an SNMP v3 account when it is enabled through the embedded Web server. The account information can be integrated on SNMP v3 management applications.

●The print server supports seamless SNMP v3 account creation and management from HP Web Jetadmin.

HP Web Jetadmin Password and Profiles

●Access control to Jetdirect configuration parameters through the Jetdirect IP Administrator password, which may be configured from HP Web Jetadmin, Telnet, or embedded Web server. For instructions, refer to the HP Web Jetadmin online help.

●HP Web Jetadmin provides access control through User Profiles. User Profiles allow password protection for individual profiles and controlled access to HP Jetdirect and printer features. For more information, refer to the HP Web Jetadmin online help.

●(For full-featured print servers only) HP Web Jetadmin can seamlessly enable the SNMP v3 agent on the print server, and create an SNMP v3 account for secure, encrypted management.

Printer Control Panel Lock

●Selected HP printers provide a control panel lock that prevents access to HP Jetdirect embedded print server configuration parameters. In many cases, this lock may be set remotely by management applications (such as HP Web Jetadmin). To determine whether your printer supports a control panel lock, refer to your printer documentation.
