Using HP TopTools To Monitor and Manage the Switch
SNMP Configuration Process
SNMP Configuration ProcessIf you are using IP, you must either configure the switch with the appropriate IP address or, if you are using DHCP/Bootp to configure the switch, ensure that the DHCP/Bootp process provides the IP address.
The general steps to configuring for SNMP access to the preceding features are:
1.From the Main Menu, select Switch Management Access Configuration.2.Configure a network address for the switch, including any necessary gateways:
a.Use DHCP/Bootp, which is enabled by default, to acquire an IP address. Make sure the DHCP/Bootp server is configured to support this switch. (Refer to “DHCP/Bootp Operation” on page
b.Manually configure an IP address. (Refer to chapter 2, “Configuring an IP Address on the Switch” for more information.)
3.Configure the appropriate SNMP communities. (The “public” community exists by default and is used by HP’s network management applications.) (For more on configuring SNMP communities, refer to “SNMP Communi- ties” on page
4.Configure the appropriate trap receivers. (For more on configuring trap receivers, refer to “Trap Receivers” on page
