Using SNMP tools to manage the switch
SNMP is a management protocol that allows an SNMP client application to retrieve device
configuration and status information and to configure the device (get and set.) You can manage
the switch via SNMP from a network management station running an application such as PCM+.
For more information on PCM+, see the HP website at:
www.hp.com/networking
From the Products menu, select Network Management. The click on PCM+ Network
Management under the HP Network Management bar.
To implement SNMP management, the switch must have an IP address configured either manually
or dynamically (using DHCP or Bootp.) If multiple VLANs are configured, each VLAN interface
should have its own IP address.
NOTE: If you use the switch's Authorized IP Managers and Management VLAN features, ensure
that the SNMP management station, the choice of switch port used for SNMP access to the switch,
or both, are compatible with the access controls enforced by these features. Otherwise, SNMP
access to the switch will be blocked.
SNMP management features
SNMP management features on the switch include:
• SNMP version 1, version 2c, or version 3 over IP
• Security via configuration of SNMP communities (“SNMPv3 communities” (page 244))
• Security via authentication and privacy for SNMPv3 access
• Event reporting via SNMP
Version 1 traps•
• RMON: groups 1, 2, 3, and 9
• PCM/PCM+
• Flow sampling using sFlow
• Standard MIBs, such as the Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), Ethernet MAU MIB (RFC 1515), and
others.
The switch SNMP agent also uses certain variables that are included in an HP proprietary MIB
(management information base) file. If you are using HP OpenView, you can ensure that it is using
the latest version of the MIB file by downloading the file to the OpenView database. To do so, go
