Using SNMP To Monitor and Manage the Switch

Overview

You can manage the Switch 208/224 that has a Management Module installed from a network management station. Included with your Switch 208/224 Management Module is a CD-ROM containing a copy of HP AdvanceStack Assistant, 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 OpenView network management environment, or it can be run as a stand-alone application running directly under Windows.

HP AdvanceStack Assistant provides complete control of your Switch 208 or 224 through its graphical interface. In addition, it makes use of the HP Embedded Advanced Sampling Environment (HP EASE) and RMON agent software that is on the Switch Management Module 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 208/ 224 and provides an overview of the configuration process for supporting SNMP management of the switch. For configuration procedures for specific features, see chapter 4, “Configuring the Switch From the Console”.
