12.3.1.11 HiPath Fault Management
HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000 systems have a separate SNMP agent that allows access to var-
ious system data that is stored in its MIB or Management Information database. The MIB pro-
vides basic system information, status information, event-related data, and information on in-
stalled hardware (slots) and configured connections (ports).
HiPath Fault Management can read information from the HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000 system
MIB via SNMP requests. This allows the system to permanently monitor the status of the net-
work components and to include changes of status in the network administrator information.
A graphic map of the network displays the topology and the current status of the network com-
ponents.
For detailed information, refer to the product-specific documentation for HiPath Fault Manage-
ment.
SNMP functions
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) represents a convenient platform within the
TCP/IP protocol family for management tasks in the HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000 software.
SNMP is used more or less as a management agent on HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000 and han-
dles central monitoring and administration of LAN network components, including the HiPath
3000 and HiPath 5000. It is possible to
● address the HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000 over the TCP/IP protocol family.
● access data from external management applications such as HiPath Fault Management.
● implement remote maintenance jobs (such as online port status, disabling and enabling
ports, and determining free ports).
● transmit service-related Class B errors.
● visualize the operating status of a HiPath 3000 and HiPath 5000.
