HiPath 3000/5000 V6.0, System Description
4-83
For internal use only
HiPath 3000/5000 in the LAN Network
Administration & Fault Management
● a user-specific MIB that processes HiPath-specific statistic data (feature counters) and in-
ternal error messages (error history), covering the following areas:
– ControlGroup – status variables, general configuration, supplementary TFTP configu-
ration data
– SystemInfoGroup – system configuration and status
– StatisticsGroup – statistic data on features
– ErrorHistoryGroup – Error history in HiPath format
Error messages are forwarded in the form of SNMP traps via the LAN to a specific ex-
ternal management application. The SNMP traps form the error history data structure
(time stamp, error class, error description).
These components use the IP protocol according to OSI layer 3 and the UDP protocol accord-
ing to layer 4. The SNMP protocol stack uses port numbers. The system supports the SNMP
protocol version 1.0.
SNMP Messages
The following commands control SNMP messages for communication between the SNMP
management agent (HiPath 3000/5000 ) and external applications:
● GET – retrieve data from agent
● GET NEXT – read out data sequentially
● SET – write data
● TRAP – alarm messages issued by the SNMP agent
There is an integrated mechanism for generating SNMP traps in the event of class B errors.
The SNMP management agent evaluates the error messages. In the case of defined errors, it
generates specific traps and transmits them in the form of IP data records to a configurable IP
address (a total of five SNMP V1.0-compatible applications are supported, including HP Open
View Network Node Manager for example).
