Table 103 Create SNMP Management Station section components
Component Description
Manager Type
The SNMP version used on the NMS. All three versions of SNMP are supported
on the SKM.
Trap Type
Specifies whether this NMS is configured to receive Trap or Inform messages.
NOTE:
We recommend that you always use Inform messages.
Hostname or IP The hostname or IP address of the NMS.
Port Port on which the NMS is listening for SNMP traffic. The default is 162.
Manager
Community (v1/v2)
Name that is used to send SNMP data to SNMPv1/v2 management stations. The
manager community is used by SNMPv1/v2 management stations to filter SNMP
traps and is not related to the agent community name. The Manager Community
name cannot exceed 64 characters.
Username (v3 only) Name that is used to send SNMP data to SNMPv3 management stations. The
username is used to create a key that is shared by the agent and the NMS.
Security Level (v3
only)
You have three choices for the security level
• auth, priv – authorization and privacy. This option takes full advantage of the
enhanced security features in SNMPv3. This option means that the SKM is
authenticated by the NMS when the SKM sends a trap; in addition, all data
exchanged between the HP agent and the NMS is encrypted using the DES
algorithm and a secret key.
• auth, no priv – authorization, no privacy. This option allows you to specify that
the SKM is authenticated by the NMS, but data that is exchanged between the
agent and NMS is unencrypted.
• no auth, no priv – no authorization, no privacy. This option is similar to the security
offered in SNMPv1/v2. No encryption is performed, and the authenticity of the
sender of the SNMP message is not be guaranteed.
Auth Protocol (v3
only)
You can choose from MD5 and SHA.
Auth Password (v3
only)
This password is used to create the secret key that is used to authenticate the sender of
SNMP messages. The auth password must be between 8 and 256 characters.
Priv Password (v3
only)
This password is used to create the secret key that is used to encrypt data that is
shared between the HP agent and the NMS. The auth password must be between
8 and 256 characters.
NOTE:
If you select the auth, priv security option and you enter a valid value in the Auth
Password field, and leave the Priv Password field blank, the value you entered in
the Auth Password field is used to create the Priv Password.
Manager Engine ID
(v3 only)
The Manager Engine ID is a unique identifier for the manager entity that is used for
authentication. The Manager Engine ID is not used when sending inform messages.
The Manager Engine ID cannot exceed 128 characters.

Enterprise MIB overview
We distribute MIBs in SMIv2 format; if you want SMIv1, you can derive it from the SMIv2 MIB distributed
by HP. The Enterprise MIBs are broken out into the following functional groups:
• System Statistics. The System Statistics provide basic system information like system uptime,
CPU utilization, Number of CPUs in the system, and Memory utilization. For a more thorough
description of the System Statistics, please see Refresh Statistics .
