22.2 Managing the appliance settings

Appliance settings include the network settings, the clock settings, and the SNMP settings for your appliance in the data center.

If the appliance has not yet been configured when you log in, you are instructed to configure the appliance network. You can change appliance network settings at any time after they are configured.

You manage the appliance network configuration from the Settings screen or by using the REST APIs. The Settings screen enables you to manage various system-wide settings and tasks. Use the Settings→Actions menu to access various appliance and security tasks, including downloading audit logs.

22.2.3About appliance SNMP settings

Network management systems use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor network-attached devices. The appliance uses SNMP to retrieve information from managed devices. The devices use SNMP to send asynchronous notifications (called traps) to the appliance.

You specify a read community string that serves as a credential to verify access to the SNMP data on the managed devices. The appliance sends the read community string to enclosures (through their OAs) and to the servers (though their iLO management processors). Some older devices require manual host OS configuration.

For the appliance to monitor the health of HP ProLiant G7 blade servers, you need to configure the SNMP settings for the server and iLO3.
