Using HP TopTools To Monitor and Manage the Switch

Overview

You can manage the Switch 212M and 224M from an SNMP-based network management station. Included with your switch is a CD-ROM containing a copy of HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches, an easy to install and use network management application that runs on your Windows NT- or Windows 95-based PC. It can be used as an application under the HP TopTools network management environment, or it can be run as a stand-alone application running directly under Windows.

HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches provides complete control of your Switch 212M or 224M through its graphical interface. In addition, it makes use of the HP Extended RMON and standard RMON agent software that is on the switch to provide powerful but easy to use traffic monitoring and network activity analysis tools.

This chapter provides an overview of SNMP management for the Switch 212M and 224M and provides an overview of the configuration process for support- ing SNMP management of the switch. For configuration procedures for spe- cific features, see chapter 6, “Configuring the Switch”.
