Network ConfigurationWorkCentre 7120/7125 Multifunction PrinterSystem Administrator Guide26SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitornetwork-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention. It consists of a set ofstandards for network management including an application layer, a database schema, and a set ofdata objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in the printer’s SNMPv3 engine. A manager is anSNMPv3 management application such as OpenView, that is used to monitor and configure devices onthe network. The agent responds to read (GET) and write (SET) requests from the manager and canalso generate alert messages, or Traps, based on certain events.SNMP settings can be configured in CentreWare IS. You can also enable or disable AuthenticationFailure Generic Traps on the printer. SNMPv3 can be enabled to create an encrypted channel for secureprinter management.Enabling SNMP1. In CentreWare IS, click Properties > Connectivity > Port Settings.2. Next to SNMP, select Enabled.3. Select UDP and IPX to enable these transport protocols if necessary.Configuring SNMP1. In CentreWare IS, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > SNMP Configuration.2. Under SNMP Properties, select Enable SNMP v1/v2c Protocols, or Enable SNMP v3 Protocol,then click Apply.Note: You must click Apply to save your settings or the protocol will remain disabled.3. Under Authentication Failure Generic Traps, select Enabled if you want the printer to generatea trap for every SNMP request that is received by the printer that contains an invalidcommunity name.4. Click Apply. For details, see SNMP Advanced Settings on page 27.Editing SNMP v1/v2c PropertiesNote: Xerox recommends that you change the SNMP v1/v2c public and private community namesfrom the default values for security purposes.1. In CentreWare IS, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > SNMP Configuration.2. Under SNMP Properties, click Edit SNMP v1/v2c Properties.3. Type a name up to 256 characters for the Community Name (Read Only) or use the default valueof public. GET returns the password for the SNMP GET requests to the printer. Applicationsobtaining information from the printer using SNMP, such as CentreWare IS, use this password.
