SNMP and remote monitoring You can monitor the HP PC Blade Switch remotely from an SNMP/RMON network management tool set such as HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) or HP OpenView. Unique integration with HP Systems Insight Manager provides the following additional features: • Pre-compiled switch MIB (HP SIM 5.0.2) • Automatic identification upon discovery (HP SIM 5.0.2) • Receive traps and events from the switches upon registration of MIBs and IA/Switch Configuration Configuring the switch to send SNMPv1traps Because HP SIM processes only SNMP V1 traps, you must configure the switch to send traps to HP SIM. By design. HP SIM will discard any traps it receives from devices that are not in systems list. The following is a very simple example of the minimal HP PC Blade Switch CLI command to configure SNMP Support from the CLI of the HP PC Blade Switch SNMP trap destination to the server hosting HP SIM. If the HP SIM server is located on a different IP subnet, the switch is configured with a configured router as its default gateway. There are other attributes available for configuring SNMP traps.

SNMP and remote monitoring
You can monitor the HP PC Blade Switch remotely from an SNMP/RMON network management tool set
such as HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) or HP OpenView. Unique integration with HP Systems
Insight Manager provides the following additional features:
•
Pre-compiled switch MIB (HP SIM 5.0.2)
•
Automatic identification upon discovery (HP SIM 5.0.2)
•
Receive traps and events from the switches upon registration of MIBs and IA/Switch Configuration
Configuring the switch to send SNMPv1traps
Because HP SIM processes only SNMP V1 traps, you must configure the switch to send traps to HP SIM.
By design. HP SIM will discard any traps it receives from devices that are not in systems list.
The following is a very simple example of the minimal HP PC Blade Switch CLI command to configure
SNMP Support from the CLI of the HP PC Blade Switch SNMP trap destination to the server hosting HP
SIM. If the HP SIM server is located on a different IP subnet, the switch is configured with a configured
router as its default gateway. There are other attributes available for configuring SNMP traps. Please con-
sult the

Configuring HP SIM to work with the switch
HP SIM 5.0.2
Beginning with HP SIM 5.0.2, the HP PC Blade Switch will be automatically recognized upon discovery.
The HP PC Blade Switch-specific MIB will be pre-compiled, but requires manual registration prior to
proper functionality. The following steps explain the MIB registration process for HP SIM 5.0.2.
1.
From the HP SIM server, open a DOS command prompt window.
2.
Change the current working directory to the HP SIM MIBS folder, which by default is c:\Program
Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\mibs.
3.
Execute the command:
mxmib -a RADLAN-MIB.cfg
4.
To verify RADLAN-MIB mib was loaded, execute the command:
mxmib -
l
5.
Exit the DOS command prompt window.
