• Configuring SNMP v1/v2c on page 78
• Configuring SNMP v3 on page 79
• Configuring the SNMP Access Control List on page 81

If you are not using SNMP, disable it to prevent unauthorized access through applications that use
SNMP. For information on disabling SNMP, see Disabling SNMP on page 82.
SNMP is a set of protocols designed to help manage complex networks. SNMP-compliant devices store
data about themselves in MIBs and return this data to the SNMP requestors. The SNMP configuration
pages provide control over SNMP security, including the methods to configure:
• Administrative and Key User Accounts with privacy and authentication protocols and keys
associated with each account.
• SNMP user account read or read/write access.
• An access control list that limits SNMP access to the printer-specific hosts.
Note: The Current State field on the SNMP Configuration page identifies the SNMP
enable/disable status. Possible values include SNMP v3 Enabled, SNMP v1/v2c Enabled, and All
SNMP Protocols Disabled.
Configuring SNMP for Maximum Security
Note: An SSL certificate must be established on the printer to enable SNMP v3. In most cases, a
certificate is automatically established when the printer is first turned on and no other action is
required.
Use CentreWare IS to configure SNMP for maximum security:
1. Launch a Web browser from your computer.
2. Enter the printer IP address in the browser Address field. For details, see Finding the Printer IP
Address on page 17.
3. Click the Properties tab.
4. For selecting SSL:
a. On the left navigation pane, expand the Security folder, then select HTTPS.
b. If prompted, enter your Admin or Key User name and password.
c. On the HTTPS page, in the Use SSL field of the Configure HTTPS box, select To Secure Pages
and Passwords.
