Using SNMP To Monitor and Manage the
Switch
Overview
You can manage the Switch 208/224 that has a Management Module installed
from a network management station. Included with your Switch 208/224
Management Module is a CD-ROM containing a copy of HP AdvanceStack
Assistant, an easy to install and use network management application that
runs on your Windows NT- or Windows 95-based PC. It can be used as an
application under the HP OpenView network management environment, or it
can be run as a stand-alone application running directly under Windows.
HP AdvanceStack Assistant provides complete control of your Switch 208 or
224 through its graphical interface. In addition, it makes use of the HP
Embedded Advanced Sampling Environment (HP EASE) and RMON agent
software that is on the Switch Management Module to provide powerful but
easy to use traffic monitoring and network activity analysis tools.
This chapter provides an overview of SNMP management for the Switch 208/
224 and provides an overview of the configuration process for supporting
SNMP management of the switch. For configuration procedures for specific
features, see chapter 4, “Configuring the Switch From the Console”.
