Note Cipher suites support different levels of encryption strength. The cipher suites currently supported for encryption and decryption are DES (Data Encryption Standard, 56-bit), RC4 (40-bit or 128-bit), and 3DES (168-bit). SNMP Use this tab to enable or disable SNMP v1, v2c and v3 agents on the print server, depending on the print server model. Value-based print servers do not support an SNMP v3 agent. For a description of SNMP selections, see Table 4.7. SNMP v3. The HP Jetdirect print server includes an SNMP v3 (Simple Network Management Protocol, version 3) agent, for enhanced SNMP security. The SNMP v3 agent employs a User-based Security Model for SNMP v3 (RFC 2574), which features user-authentication and data privacy through encryption. The SNMP v3 agent is enabled when an initial SNMP v3 account on the print server is created. Once the account is created, any SNMP management application, if properly configured, can access or disable the account. CAUTION If you use HP Web Jetadmin to manage your devices, you should use HP Web Jetadmin to seamlessly configure SNMP v3 and other security settings on the print server. Using the embedded Web server to create the SNMP v3 account will erase any existing SNMP v3 accounts. In addition, the SNMP v3 account information will need to be implemented on the SNMP management application. You may create the initial account by specifying the HMAC-MD5 authentication and CBC-DES data privacy encryption keys used by your SNMP v3 management application.
