Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets administrators monitor network devices, such as the Control Center and Scanners. You can specify an SNMP community string and trap. You can also manage access privileges to the SNMP agent for up to four hosts in your environment.
Before you configure SNMP settings, you must first download the Management Information Base (MIB) database and import it to your SNMP client.
See Downloading a Management Information Base for SNMP.
To monitor devices through SNMP
In the Control Center, click Administration > Settings > SNMP.
In the SNMP community string box, type the SNMP Agent's community string.
In the SNMP listen port box, type the port at which the SNMP agent listens for network traffic.
In the SNMP trap host box, type the IP address or host name of the device that receives SNMP trap alerts.
Under SNMP Client Access, specify which hosts can access the SNMP agent by doing one of the following tasks:
You can delete any currently SNMP-access-enabled hosts by checking the box next to their names and clicking Delete.
