When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS software called
SNMP manager, you need to provide a community name in each SNMP request for
authentication purpose. The print server supports up to two community names. The default
community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only access right in default.
When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent alerts the SNMP
manager through SNMP traps. Following list summaries SNMP trap messages that the print
server will send out.
Activities/SNMP Trap Messages Description
Link Up or Link Down When the network interface on the print server fails, a link down
trap message is generated; if the network interface comes back
to life, a link up trap message is sent.
Cold Start or Warm Start When the print server restarts, the cold start or warm start trap
message is generated.
Authentication Failure When the print server received a SNMP request with a
community name that does not match the community name the
print server is configured with (stored in the print server's
memory), an
authentication failure trap message is generated.
In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB objects are available for
updating.
MIB Object Names Description
system.sysContact Indicates the network administrator's name.
system.sysName Indicates the print server's name for identification.
system.sysLocation Indicates the location of the print server.
snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps

Failure trap message to the network administrator, if the
