Event Log Messages

 

 

 

Message

Meaning

 

 

DNS server address not configured

The switch does not have an IP address configured for the DNS

 

server.

DNS server not responding

The DNS server failed to respond or is unreachable. An incorrect

 

server IP address can produce this result.

Unknown host < host-name>

The host name did not resolve to an IP address. Some reasons for

 

this occurring include:

 

• The host name was not found.

 

• The named domain was not found.

 

• The domain suffix was expected, but has not been configured. (If

 

the server’s IP address has been configured in the switch but the

 

domain name has not been configured, then the host’s fully

 

qualified domain name must be used.)

 

 

Using SNMP To View and Configure Switch Authentication Features

In earlier software releases, SNMP MIB object access has not been available for switch authentication configuration (hpSwitchAuth) features. Beginning with software release M.08.89, the 3400cl and 6400cl switches allow, by default, manager-only SNMP read/write access to a subset of the authentication MIB objects for the following features:

■number of primary and secondary login and enable attempts

■TACACS+ server configuration and status

■RADIUS server configuration

■selected 802.1X settings

■key management subsystem chain configuration

■key management subsystem key configuration

■OSPF interface authentication configuration

With SNMP access to the hpSwitchAuth MIB enabled, a device with management access to the switch can view the configuration for the authentication features listed above (excluding passwords and keys). Using SNMP sets, a management device can change the authentication configuration (including changes to passwords and keys). Operator read/write access to the authentication MIB is always denied.
