Using Simple Network Management Protocol

The switch software provides SNMP v1.0 and SNMP v3.0 support for access through any network management
software, such as HP-OpenView.

SNMP v1.0

To access the SNMP agent on the switch, the read and write community strings on the SNMP manager should be
configured to match those on the switch. The default read community string on the switch is public and the default
write community string is private.
The read and write community strings on the switch can be changed using the following commands on the CLI.
>> /cfg/sys/ssnmp/rcomm
and
>> /cfg/sys/ssnmp/wcomm
The SNMP manager should be able to reach the management interface or any one of the IP interfaces on the switch.
For the SNMP manager to receive the traps sent out by the SNMP agent on the switch, the trap host on the switch
should be configured with the following command:
/cfg/sys/ssnmp/snmpv3/taddr
For more details, see "Configuring SNMP trap hosts".

SNMP v3.0

SNMPv3 is an enhanced version of the Simple Network Management Protocol, approved by the Internet Engineering
Steering Group in March, 2002. SNMP v3.0 contains additional security and authentication features that provide
data origin authentication, data integrity checks, timeliness indicators, and encryption to protect against threats such
as masquerade, modification of information, message stream modification, and disclosure.
SNMP v3 ensures that the client can use SNMP v3 to query the MIBs, mainly for security.
To access the SNMP v3.0 menu, enter the following command in the CLI:
>> #
For more information on SNMP MIBs and the commands used to configure SNMP on the switch, see the HP GbE2c
Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Command Reference Guide.

Default configuration

The switch software has two users by default. Both the users 'adminmd5' and 'adminsha' have access to all the
MIBs supported by the switch.
1. username 1: adminmd5/password adminmd5. Authentication used is MD5.
2. username 2: adminsha/password adminsha. Authentication used is SHA.
3. username 3: v1v2only/password none.
To configure an SNMP user name, enter the following command from the CLI:
>> #
/cfg/sys/ssnmp/snmpv3
/cfg/sys/ssnmp/snmpv3/usm 6
