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.
