HP Hub & Switch Management communicates with network devices using
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).To access device features,
each network device must contain a compatible version of agent software or
firmware.

Note: The latest firmware agents can be obtained from the Support
section of the HP networking Web page. The URL is:

Verifying Device Agent Versions

You can check the agent version on an HP device using one of the following
methods:

■

Use the device's console port interface (a non-network connection).

You can connect a terminal or computer directly to the device or through
a modem. Refer to the device's Installation and Reference Guide for use
of the device's RS-232 console port.

•

For HP devices, you can use an ASCII terminal or computer with
VT 100 terminal emulation.

■

Use an available network application (a network connection).
