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.
