SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of rules that govern the management of network devices, such as printing systems. SNMP settings determine the level of security when using the Auto Configure feature, and prevent unauthorized printing to the SNMPv3 printing system. SNMP settings must be set in the printer driver and in the printing system’s Command Center.

The following SNMP options are available:

SNMPv1/v2c

This option ensures successful Auto Configure communication using Read community name and Write community name.

SNMPv3

This option ensures secure Auto Configure communication using a user name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by selecting Settings.

Apply to other models

This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected SNMP settings.

SNMPv3 Options

You can select SNMPv3 options for secure communication with the printing system.

Authentication

This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data.

MD5

This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128–bit hash value. It adds security and protection against Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP)-spoofing software.

SHA1

This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long. SHA1 is the successor to MD5.

Privacy

This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after you select the Authentication option. You may select one privacy option.
