Monitoring and Controlling the Machine with SNMP

2KUU-015

Simple Network Management Pr

otocol (SNMP) is a protocol for monitoring and controlling communication devices in a

network by using Management Information Base (MIB). The machine supports SNMPv1 and security-enhanced

SNMPv3. You can check the status of the machine from a computer when you print documents or use the Remote UI.

You can enable either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3, or both at the same time. Specify the settings for each version to suit your

network environment and the purpose of use.

SNMPv1

SNMPv1 uses information called "community" to dene the scope of SNMP communication. Because this

information is e

xposed to the network in plain text, your network will be vulnerable to attacks. If you want to

ensure network security, disable SNMPv1 and use SNMPv3.

SNMPv3

With SNMPv3, you can implement network device management that is protected by robust security features.

Note that TLS must be enabled for the Remote UI befor

e conguring SNMPv3 (

Certicate for TLS(P. 309) ).

● The machine does not support the tr

ap notication feature of SNMP.

● To change the port number of SNMP, see

Changing Port Numbers(P. 306) .

● SNMP management softwar

e, when installed on a computer on the network, enables you to congure,

monitor, and control the machine remotely from the computer. For more information, see the instruction

manuals for your management software.

● For more information about the basic operations to be performed when setting the machine from the

Remote UI, see
