7.0.8 Insight Remote Support Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Chapter 33
Configuring ComWare-based Networking
Switches
ComWare-based networking switches (formerly A-Series or H3C/3COM) require SNMP for discovery and
event monitoring.
Important: Switches configured to use the HP proprietary Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)
technology are not supported as only the master device will be monitored correctly. Slave
device errors and automatic failover of a master device will produce anomalies including
incorrect reporting. HP Insight RS only supports standalone mode for these switches.
Fulfill Configuration Requirements
Complete the following steps to configure your ComWare-based networking switches to be monitored by
Insight RS.
Task Complete?
Make sure Insight RS supports your ComWare-based switch by checking the HP
Insight Remote Support Release Notes.
Configure Telnet or SSH on the switch.
Configure SNMP traps on the switch.
Discover the ComWare-based switch in the Insight RS Console.
Verify SNMP communication.

Configure Telnet or SSH
To configure trap destinations to point to Insight Remote Support, you need to use Telnet or SSH (or use a
serial console) to access the CLI. Use the below procedures to configure Telnet or SSH.
Configuring Telnet
From a serial console, complete the following steps:
1. Enter system view, and enable the Telnet service.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] telnet server enable
2. Configure an IP address for VLAN interface 1. This address will serve as the destination of the Telnet
connection.
