5: Using Snmp To Monitor And Manage The Switch; Snmp Management; The Bootp Process - HP J3245A Installation And Configuration Manual

Using SNMP To Monitor and Manage the
Switch
You can manage the switch via SNMP from a network management station.
(The switch supports SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c, except as noted below for
SNMP v2 Notifications.) If you are using IP, you must either configure the
switch with the appropriate IP address or, if you are using Bootp to configure
the switch, ensure that the Bootp process provides the IP address. (The IPX
address is automatically configured.) If multiple VLANs are configured, each
VLAN interface should have its own IP or IPX network address. This chapter
provides an overview of SNMP management for the switch and describes the
configuration process for the various features. For parameter-specific infor-
mation, refer to the Help provided in the individual configuration screens.

SNMP Management

SNMP management features on the switch include:
Security via configuration of SNMP communities
Event reporting via SNMP traps and RMON (SNMP v2 Notifications are
not supported at this time.)
Managing the switch with a network management tool such as HP
AdvanceStack Assistant
Monitoring data normally associated with the SNMP agent ("Get" opera-
tions). Supported Standard MIBs include:
• Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
• Etherlike MIB (RFC 1650)
• Ethernet MAU MIB (RFC 1515)
• Interfaces Evolution MIB (RFC 1573)
• Novell Standard IPX MIB (ipx.mib)
• RMON MIB (RFC 1757)—etherstats, events, alarms, and history
• SNMP MIB-II (RFC 1213)
