HPE Virtual Connect errors
SNMP overview
SNMP is a protocol used by network management systems to monitor devices on a network. It works by
querying device objects, such as an interface status or port state. Virtual Connect supports SNMPv1,
SNMPv2, and SNMPv3.
SNMP consists of the following key components:
• SNMP managed devices
• SNMP agents
• SNMP management station
• MIBs
• SNMP traps
SNMP traps
A trap is an unsolicited notification sent from an agent to a management station when an event is detected. It
is the opposite of polling.
Traps can send device states or port statistics, such as throughput, errors, and discards.
The following table provides a summary of available SNMP traps.
