Device Settings 3-6 SNMP Settings Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that governs the management of devices agents, and network management systems. Managed devices, such as printing systems, collect and store management information for the network management systems. SNMP security levels are specified by settings in the SNMP settings dialog box. With SNMPv3, encryption and authentication support are provided. SNMP settings must be made in the printer driver and in the printing system's home page. The following SNMP options are available: SNMPv1/v2c It communicates with the managed device using Read community name and Write community name. SNMPv3 Security enhancements for authentication and encryption require a user name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by clicking Settings. Apply to other models This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected SNMP settings. SNMPv3 Options You can select SNMPv3 options for secure communication with the printing system. Authentication This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data. MD5 This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. SHA1 This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long. SHA1 is the successor to MD5. Privacy This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after you select the Authentication option. You may select one Privacy option. DES This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption. DES turns cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key. AES This option uses the Advanced Encryption Standard for encryption. AES is a symmetric block cipher that can process data blocks of 128 bits, using cipher keys with lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits. It is more secure than DES. Selecting SNMP Settings 1 In Device Settings > Administrator > General, click SNMP Settings. 2 Select SNMPv1/v2c or SNMPv3. User Guide

SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (
SNMP
) is an application layer protocol
that governs the management of devices agents, and network management
systems. Managed devices, such as printing systems, collect and store
management information for the network management systems.
SNMP
security
levels are specified by settings in the
SNMP settings
dialog box. With
SNMPv3
, encryption and authentication support are provided.
SNMP
settings
must be made in the printer driver and in the printing system’s home page.
The following
SNMP
options are available:
SNMPv1/v2c
It communicates with the managed device using
Read community name
and
Write community name
.
SNMPv3
Security enhancements for authentication and encryption require a user
name and password. Authentication and privacy options are available by
clicking
Settings
.
Apply to other models
This option displays a list of installed printing systems to apply the selected
SNMP
settings.
SNMPv3 Options
You can select
SNMPv3
options for secure communication with the printing
system.
Authentication
This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived
intact. Message Digest 5 (
MD5
) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (
SHA1
) are hash
algorithms used to authenticate packet data.
MD5
This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value.
SHA1
This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long.
SHA1
is the
successor to
MD5
.
Privacy
This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after you
select the
Authentication
option. You may select one
Privacy
option.
DES
This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption.
DES
turns
cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts
data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key.
AES
This option uses the Advanced Encryption Standard for encryption.
AES
is a
symmetric block cipher that can process data blocks of 128 bits, using cipher
keys with lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits. It is more secure than
DES
.
