Entering SNMP settings
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses SNMP to communicate with managed systems . Community strings
establish the authentication that enables communication between HP SIM and a managed system. You can
enter read community strings in the First Time Wizard, or from the HP SIM menu bar. To disable SNMP
communication, enter community strings, or control other SNMP settings not available in the wizard, select
Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings from the HP SIM menu.
If you do not have SNMP systems in your network, it is not necessary to enter information here. If you have
SNMP systems and you do not enter read community strings that match these systems, HP SIM does not
discover them.
See “Setting protocols and credentials for a system or groups of systems” for information on fine tuning
protocol settings for a single system or a group of similar systems.
To enter SNMP settings from the First Time Wizard SNMP page:
1. In the Read community string field, enter up to 10 read community strings. This value is case-sensitive.
The identification process attempts communication with a system, using each of these communities in
succession until a successful response is obtained. Future SNMP requests then use the community string
that provided a successful response.
If you have SNMP systems and no read community string that match the systems are entered, the systems
will not be discovered.
2. To go to the next First Time Wizard step, click Next, or to return to the previous step, click Previous.
