ppmPrinterSnmpCommunityName
Module: PRINTER-PORT-MONITOR-MIB
OID (symbolic): PRINTER-PORT-MONITOR-MIB::ppmPrinterSnmpCommunityName
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.2.1.2.1.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-only
Description: The SNMP read community name, an opaque binary string, for access to status information in IETF Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514/2790) and IETF Printer MIB (RFC 1759/3805) for this printer via the value of 'ppmPrinterHrDeviceIndex' (i.e., a 'MIB view' of these two MIBs).
Security Warning: Due to the widespread availability of free 'packet sniffers' (network traffic snooping applications) and SNMP packet decoders, SNMP community names no longer offer even weak security. This object SHOULD only be used to support 'MIB views'. Implementations SHOULD use SNMPv3 security to protect network resources from unauthorized monitoring.
If this object is empty, then the SNMP read community name for this printer (if any) SHOULD default to 'public' in US-ASCII.
What is ppmPrinterSnmpCommunityName?
This object stores the SNMP read community string that monitoring applications should use, alongside ppmPrinterHrDeviceIndex, to query this printer's status in the Host Resources and Printer MIBs. Because SNMPv1/v2c community strings are effectively unencrypted, admins should treat a populated value here mainly as a 'MIB view' selector rather than genuine security, and prefer SNMPv3 where possible; an empty value implies the default community 'public'. For example, if this printer's status is only visible over a non-default community like 'printerRO', that string would appear here so a monitoring tool knows which credential to present.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.2.1.2.1.1.7 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRINTER-PORT-MONITOR-MIB::ppmPrinterSnmpCommunityName
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.2.1.2.1.1.7.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRINTER-PORT-MONITOR-MIB::ppmPrinterSnmpCommunityName.1
