Setting SNMP

Return to Overview

SNMP helps monitor the state of the machine and collects information on it. The following two items can be set:

The default settings are as follows:

  • <SNMP Settings>: <On>
  • <Community Name 1>: <public>
  • <Writable SNMP 1>: <On>
  • <Writable SNMP 2>: <Off>
  • <Print Mgt. Info from Host>: <On>

<COMMUNITY NAME>:

Sets the SNMP community name. You can specify up to two community names.

<SNMP WRITABLE>:

Enables the computers on the network to access the machine and modify its settings if this item is activated. You can specify this setting for each community separately.

If you restrict the IP addresses, it is not possible to use the Remote UI to set or browse detailed information on computers other than those whose IP addresses are allowed, even if both <SNMP Settings> and <Dedicated Port Settings> are <On>.
