Overview
Monitoring and Managing
the Switch
Note If you do not specify the event level ([<none | all | non-info | critical | debug>])
then the switchwill not send event log messages as traps. "Well-Known" traps
and threshold traps (if configured) will still be sent..
Using the CLI To Enable Authentication Traps
If this feature is enabled, an authentication trap is sent to the configured trap
receiver(s) if a management station attempts an unauthorized access of the
switch. Check the event log in the console interface to help determine why
the authentication trap was sent. (Refer to Using the Event Log To Identify
Problem Sources on page Using the Event Log To Identify Problem Sources
on page 18-16.)
Note For this feature to operate, one or more trap receivers must be configured on
the switch. See CLI: Configuring and Displaying Trap Receivers on page 12-9.
Using the CLI To Enable Authentication Traps.
Syntax: snmp-server trap authentication
HP4108(config)# snmp-server trap authentication
Advanced Management: RMON
The switch supports RMON (Remote Monitoring) on all connected network
segments. This allows for troubleshooting and optimizing your network.
The following RMON groups are supported:
Ethernet Statistics (except the numbers of packets of different frame sizes)
Alarm
History (of the supported Ethernet statistics)
Event
The RMON agent automatically runs in the switch. Use the RMON manage-
ment station on your network to enable or disable specific RMON traps and
events. Note that you can access the Ethernet statistics, Alarm, and Event
groups from the HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches network management
software. For more on TopTools, see the "Read Me First" document shipped
with your switch and also available on HPs ProCurve website at
