Ethernet SNMP Module Installation and Reference Guide ( J2603B) 1995-10

From HP Interconnect Manager
The HP Ethernet SNMP Module has embedded SNMP agent code allowing
an HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub, with the module installed, to be
managed by HP Interconnect Manager and any other SNMP-compliant
network management product.
Features Provided
Most of the management features that are available through the out-of-band
management tool, HP Stack Manager, are also available from a network
management station running HP Interconnect Manager. This network
management tool also provides the additional management features listed
below. See the documentation accompanying HP Interconnect Manager for
more information.
Port Security. HP Interconnect Manager provides network
management authorization, and hub access password protection
features similar to those provided by HP Stack Manager.
In addition, HP Interconnect Manager provides two types of port
security:
• Intruder Prevention for inbound data (from the end user to the
hub)
• Eavesdrop Prevention for outbound data (from the hub to the
end user)
Both of these types of security can be configured on each of the
hub’s network ports individually.
Capability to manage up to 16 hubs in a chain through a single
HP Ethernet SNMP Module. With only one of the hubs in the
stack having an HP Ethernet SNMP Module, all the 10Base-T hubs in
the entire stack can be managed over the network from a network
management station.
Redundant SNMP management capability if there is more than
one HP Ethernet SNMP Module in the chain. If communication
between the network management station and the hub with the
HP Ethernet SNMP Module is interrupted, any other hub that has an
HP Ethernet SNMP Module in the chain can take over the
management communication. See the HP Interconnect Manager
product documentation for more information.
