D Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for managing the router through third-party applications
that support SNMP. The mpx100/100b firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 and an HP MIB
“Management Information Base (MIB)” on page 196. Traps can be formatted using SNMP versions 1
or 2 “Notifications” on page 204.
This appendix contains the following sections:
• SNMP properties, page 195
• SNMP trap configuration, page 196
• Management Information Base (MIB), page 196
• Notifications, page 204
SNMP properties
The SNMP properties can be set using either the CLI or the GUI. Table 32 describes the SNMP
properties.
