Description

SNMP v1/v2c
read-write
access

The print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all of
your machine's applications in this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not
authenticate the user and data will not be encrypted.

SNMPv3 read-
write access
and v1/v2c
read-only
access

The print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of
version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

When you use the

SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only

access

mode, some of your machine's applications that access the print

server do not work correctly since they authorize the read-only access of
version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, we recommend
using the

SNMP v1/v2c read-write access

mode.

SNMPv3 read-
write access

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

When you use the

SNMPv3 read-write access

mode, note the following:

Except for BRAdmin Professional, all applications that use SNMPv1/v2c
will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications, use the

SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access

or

SNMP

v1/v2c read-write access

mode.
