snmp-active

Indicates whether InfoPrint Manager has established Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) communications with the output device that this actual destination represents.

GUI label

SNMP is active

DSS

AIX, BSD, CUPS, DFE, PSF, IPP, Passthrough

Type

Non-settable, single-valued

Allowed Values

InfoPrint Manager sets this value to one of these fixed values:

  • true
  • false

Default Value

If you have defined a value for the destination-tcpip-internet-address attribute and InfoPrint Manager has established SNMP communication with the printer device, true; otherwise false.

Usage Guidelines

  • If you are using SNMPv3 and the snmp-active attribute is not set to true, the context-name attribute might not be set. Some printers require the context-name attribute to be set to a specific printer vendor value to allow SNMPv3 connections.
  • For DFE printers, the SNMP communication is only used for determining the printer condition. SNMP defaulting of attributes is disabled. However, you can list the device-specific attributes with the pdls command by specifying
    -r all-device
