C Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for managing the mpx110 through third-party
applications that support SNMP. The mpx110 firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 and an
HP MIB (see
Management Information Base (MIB) (page 132) ). Traps can be formatted using SNMP
versions 1 or 2 (see Notifications (page 140) ).
SNMP properties
The SNMP properties can be set using either the CLI or the GUI. Table 35 (page 132) describes the
SNMP properties.
Table 35 SNMP properties
Description Parameter
Password that authorizes an SNMP management server to read
information from the mpx110. This is a write-only field. The value Read Community
on the mpx110 and the SNMP management server must be the
same. Can be up to 32 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and
comma (,). The default is public.
Trap community password that authorizes an SNMP management
server to receive traps. This is a write-only field. The value on the Trap Community
mpx110 and the SNMP management server must be the same.
The trap community password can be up to 32 characters excluding
#, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The default is public.
Specifies the name of the mpx110 location. The name can be up
to 64 characters excluding #, semicolon (;), and comma (,). The
default is undefined. System Location
Specifies the name of the person to be contacted to respond to
trap events. The name can be up to 64 characters excluding #,
semicolon (;), and comma (,). The default is undefined. System Contact
Enables or disables the generation of authentication traps in
response to authentication failures. The default is disabled. Authentication Traps
SNMP trap configuration
SNMP trap configuration supports the setting of up to eight trap destinations. Choose from trap 1
to trap 8 to configure each trap.
Table 36 (page 132) describes the parameters for configuring an
SNMP trap.
Table 36 SNMP parameters
Description Parameter
Enables or disables trap n. If disabled, the trap is not configured. Trap n Enabled
Specifies the IP address to which the SNMP traps are sent. A maximum of 8 trap
addresses are supported. The default address for traps is 0.0.0.0. Trap Address
1
The port number on which the trap is sent. The default is 162. Trap Port 1
Specifies the SNMP version (1 or 2) with which to format traps. Trap Version
1 Trap address (other than 0.0.0.0) and trap port combinations must be unique. For example, if trap 1 and trap 2 have
the same address, they must have different port values. Similarly, if trap 1 and trap 2 have the same port value, they
must have different addresses.
