Entering SNMP settings |
 |
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) uses the SNMP to communicate with managed systems. Community strings set up the authentication that allows communication between HP SIM and a managed system. You can enter read community strings in the First Time Wizard, or in the HP SIM graphical user interface
(GUI). To disable SNMP communication, enter community strings, or control other SNMP settings not available in the wizard, select Options
Protocol SettingsGlobal Protocol Settings.
If you do not have SNMP systems in your network, you do not need to enter information here. If you have SNMP systems, and you do not enter read community strings that match these systems, HP SIM will not discover them.
Note
See the HP SIM User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for information on fine tuning protocol settings for a single system or a group of similar systems.
In the Read community string boxes, enter up to four read community strings. Community strings are case-sensitive and apply to all newly discovered systems.
The identification process attempts communication to a system, using each read community in succession until a successful response is obtained. Future SNMP requests use the community string that provided a successful response.
