Compliance
The SA8220 SNMP agent is bilingual and can support both SNMPv1
and SNMPv2c requests. HP private enterprise MIB files are
compliant with SMIv2 as specified in RFC 1902. The SNMP agent
supports Management Information Base-II (MIB-II) as specified in
RFC 1213, but allows SET operations only on the SYSTEM and
SNMP groups.
