Community: A community, also referred to as a community string, is used by the agent when it is

communicating with an NMS running SNMPv1/v2. A community functions more like a password than

its name suggests. In combination with the IP address/subnet mask speciﬁed for a community, the

community name determines from where the SKM accepts a request for information. A community

should be deﬁned on both the agent and the NMS.

Username: In combination with the security and authentication pieces of the User–based Security Model

(USM), the username determines from where the agent accepts SNMP requests. Also called a security

name, the username is used by the agent when communicating with an NMS running SNMPv3. A

username always has an associated security level and access level. Additionally, you can specify an

authorization password. Like a community name, a username should also be deﬁned on the agent and

the NMS.

Notiﬁcation: Notiﬁcation is a generic term that refers to Traps and Informs – messages that an agent might

send to an NMS. Traps are simply data packets sent out by the agent that require no acknowledgement

from the NMS. Informs are similar to traps, but they require acknowledgement from the NMS.

MIB: MIB is short for Management Information Base. MIBs deﬁne what kind of information can be

exchanged between the agent and the NMS. MIBs can be either Standard or Enterprise. Standard

MIBs are common to all SNMP systems; whereas Enterprise MIBs are particular to the HP hardware

and software.

The SNMP C

onﬁguration page

The SNMP C

onﬁguration page enables you to conﬁgure the HP agent, which is capable of

communicating with management stations that run SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3. There is only one

HP agent, whereas there might be multiple management stations.

This page contains the following sections:

•SNMPAge

nt Settings – Changes to the SNMP Agent Settings section apply to all management

station

s, usernames and communities deﬁned on the SKM.

• SNMPv1/SNMPv2 Community List – This section of the SNMP conﬁguration page is where you

deﬁne from which SNMPv1/v2 management stations the SKM receives SNMP MIB requests.

•SNMPv3UsernameList– The SNMPv3 Username List deﬁnes from which SNMPv3 management

stations the SKM receives SNMP MIB requests. Because SNMPv3 offers authentication and

privac

y, there is more to conﬁgure when creating an SNMPv3 Username as opposed to a

community.

• SNMP Management Station List – This section lists the management stations deﬁned on the SKM.

•Creat

e SNMP Management Station – The Create SNMP Management Station section is where you

conﬁ

gure outbound SNMP trafﬁc on the SKM. Whereas creating usernames and communities is

part

icular to a speciﬁc version of SNMP, management stations are common to all three version of

SNMP

. This section is where you deﬁne which management stations that the agent sends traps to.

SNMP Agent Settings

The SNMP Agent Settings section controls whether SNMP traps are enabled on the SKM, the IP address

on which SNMP in enabled, and the port on which the SKM listens for requests from the NMS. Changes

to the SNMP Agent Settings section apply to all other SNMP settings deﬁned on the SKM.
