SNMP Settings
SNMP is a protocol used to communicate management information between network management
applications and HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator. The Onboard Administrator supports SNMP
Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3, and several groups from the standard MIB-II MIB. Additional
information about the enclosure infrastructure is available in the HP Rack Information MIB. The Rack
Information MIB (CPQRACK-MIB) is part of the Insight Management MIBs and is found on the Management
CD in the ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack.
SNMPv3 provides support for encryption of the agent data via either DES or AES-128, using a user-provided
password. A dedicated set of SNMP users is maintained each with a set of authorization and authentication
passwords, along with another set of per user permissions.
The SNMP Settings screen enables you to enter system information and community strings and designate the
management stations that can receive SNMP traps from the Onboard Administrator. If you select Enable
SNMP, then the Onboard Administrator responds to SNMP requests over UDP port 162. Port 162 is the
standard UDP port used to send and retrieve SNMP messages.
In the System Information subcategory, information about the Onboard Administrator SNMP system can be
enabled and configured.
The Enable SNMP check box is not selected by default. When this check box is selected, the Onboard
Administrator can be polled for status and basic information. A SNMP client can clear SNMP alerts and
status only when you enable the Write Community string. To disable SNMP access to the Onboard
Administrator, clear the Enable SNMP check box.
NOTE: While in FIPS mode ON/DEBUG, the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are disabled, and you can
create only SNMPv3 traps.
