Enabling SNMP
Versions
The library supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3.
You can enable or disable support for SNMP v1 and v2c. They are
enabled by default. The recommended practice is to disable SNMP v1
and SNMP v2c in highly secure environments.
SNMP v3 is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
The authentication algorithm is set to MD5, and the encryption is
disabled system-wide.

Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
2 Select the SNMP V1 and V2c check box (under New Settings) to

disable SNMP v1 and v2c.
Enabling SNMP
Authentication Traps
The library allows you to enable or disable SNMP authentication traps.
When the library receives an SNMP message that does not contain the
correct community string or other authentication information, the
library sends an SNMP authentication trap message to the external
management application, indicating the authentication failure. SNMP
authentication traps are disabled by default.
