NAME¶
snmp.conf - snmp configuration file for cups
DESCRIPTION¶
The
snmp.conf file configures the CUPS SNMP printer discovery backend and
is normally located in the
/etc/cups directory. Each line in the file
can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines
start with the # character.
The SNMP backend uses the SNMPv1 protocol to discover network printers,
collecting information from the Host MIB along with intelligent port probes to
determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer. Future
versions of CUPS will likely support the new Port Monitor MIB as well.
DIRECTIVES¶
The following directives are understood by the SNMP backend. Consult the on-line
help for detailed descriptions:
- Address @IF(name)
- Address @LOCAL
- Address address
-
Sends SNMP broadcast queries to the specified address(es). The default
address is "@LOCAL" which broadcasts to all LAN interfaces.
- Community name
-
Specifies a SNMP community to query. The default community is
"public".
- DebugLevel N
-
Sets the debug logging level to N; 0 disables debug logging, 1
enables basic logging, 2 displays SNMP values, and 3 displays raw hex
data.
- HostNameLookups on
- HostNameLookups off
-
Specifies whether the addresses of printers should be converted to hostnames
or left as numeric IP addresses. The default is "off".
- MaxRunTime seconds
-
Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the SNMP backend will scan the
network for printers.
