Abstract
SNMP attributes can be configured to allow only SNMPv3 for the SNMP agent, the local trap manager, and the SNMP manager APIs. An SNMPv3 driver is available for network-attached printers. In addition, it is now possible to restrict information being returned by SNMPv3 by defining View-based Access Control Model (VACM) rules. Additional SHA-2 authentication types for SHA-256 and SHA-512 are new options when configuring SNMPv3 users.
