Task 7: Plan SNMP Support (Optional)

As an option, network administrators can use the HAFM application to configure
an SNMP agent that runs on the HAFM appliance. This agent can be configured
to send generic SNMP trap messages to up to 12 SNMP management
workstations.
Administrators can also use the Element Manager application to configure an
SNMP agent that runs on each director or switch. This agent can be configured to
send generic SNMP trap messages to up to six SNMP management workstations.
Trap recipients can also access SNMP management information and may be
granted permission to modify SNMP variables as follows:
For additional information on SNMP, refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP
Reference Guide for Edge Switches and Directors.

Assign and record product names, contact persons, descriptions, and locations

connect to the LAN on which SNMP management workstations are installed.
Obtain IP addresses and SNMP community names for management
workstations that have access to products.
Determine which (if any) management workstations can have write
permission for SNMP variables.
Obtain product-specific trap information from HP to load onto SNMP
management workstations.
