SNMP
Use the SNMP tab to specify or change the provided parameters. For a description of the items, see SNMP tab settings.
| CAUTION:
|
Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Web Jetadmin to configure SNMP v3 and other security settings on the print server.
If you use the embedded Web server, existing SNMP v3 accounts are removed. In addition, you must implement the SNMP v3 account information on the SNMP management application. For more information, see SNMP v3.

SNMP tab settings
|
|
|
| Enable SNMPv1/v2 read-write access

|
| Set Community Name is a password to send (or write) SNMP information on the HP Jetdirect print server.
|
| 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 for the print server to respond.
|
| Enter up to 255 alphanumeric characters for the community names.
|
| Select the check box to disable the default Get community name public.

| NOTE:
|
If public is disabled, some port monitors or discovery utilities might not operate properly.
|
|
| Enable SNMPv1/v2 read-only access
|
|
| Enable the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print server, but limit access to read-only. Write-access is disabled. The default Get community name public is automatically enabled.

| Disable the SNMP v1/v2c agents on the print server. This is recommended for secure environments.
|

If you disable SNMP v1/v2c, some port monitors or discovery utilities might not operate correctly.
|
|
|
|
| (Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers only) Enable the SNMP v3 agent on the print server.
|
| You must create an SNMP v3 account on the print server, and implement the account information on the SNMP v3 management application. To create the account, provide the following information:
|
| User Name SNMP v3 account user name.
|
| Authentication Key A 16-byte hexadecimal value for authenticating the SNMP packet contents using the message digest algorithm 5 (MD5, RFC 1321).
|
| Privacy Key A 16-byte hexadecimal value for encrypting the data portion of the SNMP packet, using the data encryption standard (DES) algorithm.
|
| Context Name Context in which this user can access SNMP objects. This is always Jetdirect.
