HP Insight Remote Support 7.0.9 Monitored Devices Configuration Guide

Chapter 32: Configuring ProVision-based
Networking Switches
ProVision-based networking switches (formerly E-series/ProCurve) require SNMP for discovery and
event monitoring. ProVision-based switches ship with SNMP installed and enabled.
You can use either Telnet or SSH for configuration collections. Telnet is enabled on ProVision-based
switches by default. If you want to use SSH for configuration collections, you must enable it (see section
"Enabling SSH").
