HP VPN Firewall Appliances Getting Started Guide

Accessing the device through SNMP

NOTE:

ccessin

the device throu

h SNMP is not supported in FIPS mode.

You can run SNMP on an NMS to access the device MIB and perform GET and SET operations to

manage and monitor the device. The device supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3, and can work

with various network management software products, including IMC. For more information about SNMP,

see System Management and Maintenance Configuration Guide.

By default, SNMP access is disabled. To enable SNMP access, log in to the device through any other

method and configure SNMP login.

To use an NMS to manage the firewall module (an OAP module), you must configure the management

IP address of the module on the device. For more information, see "Configuring the management IP

addr

ess of the fir

ewall module."

Configuring SNMP access

Connect the PC (the NMS) and the device to the network, making sure they can reach each other, as

shown in Figure 54. This chapter desc

ribes only the basic SNMP configuration procedures on the device.

IMPORTANT:

To make SNMP operate correctly, make sure the SNMP settin

s (includin

the SNMP version) on the NMS

are consistent with those on the firewall.

Prerequisites

• Assign an IP address to a Layer 3 interface on the firewall. By default, only interface

GigabitEthernet 0/0 is assigned an IP address (192.168.0.1/24).

• Configure routes to make sure the NMS and the Layer 3 interface can reach each other.
