Installing the HSG 43
Setting the SNMP Parameters (optional)
You can address the HSG using an SNMP client manager (for example, HP
OpenView). SNMP is the standard protocol that regulates network management over
the Internet. To do this, you must set up the SNMP communities and identifiers. For
more information about SNMP, see “Using an SNMP Manager” on page 59.
1. Enter c (configuration) at the HSG Menu. The Configuration menu appears.
2. Enter sn (snmp).
3. Enable the SNMP daemon, as required. The system displays any existing SNMP
contact information and prompts you to enter new information. If this is the first
time you have initialized the SNMP command since removing the HSG from its
box, the system has no information to display (there are no defaults).
4. Enter the SNMP parameters (communities and identifiers). The SNMP
parameters include your contact information, the get/set communities, and the IP
address of the trap recipient. Your SNMP manager needs this information to
enable network management over the Internet.
5. If you enabled the SNMP daemon, you must reboot the system for your changes
to take effect. In this case, enter y (yes) to reboot your HSG.
