Appliance SNMP settings

HPE OneView uses the appliance SNMP settings to forward traps and alerts that originate from the logical enclosures. The logical enclosures contain Online Administrators (OA) and servers (iLO).

HPE OneView can be used as a proxy to forward device traps from servers and logical enclosures to other SNMP-enabled applications on the network. HPE OneView can forward either SNMPv3 or SNMPv1 traps to configured destinations.

The appliance SNMP settings allow you to:
  • Add destinations to forward the traps and alert messages. Configure each destination as either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 destination based on the trap format.

  • The community string is a shared community name for authentication that serves as a password for a trap forwarding destination. The read community string must match the community string of the destination. Set the read community string to monitor ProLiant G6 and G7 servers, which support only SNMPv1 trap format. No SNMP settings are necessary for monitoring Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 servers.

NOTE:

To forward SNMP traps and alerts from a logical interconnect resource to a destination, without passing through the HPE OneView appliance, edit settings in the NETWORKING > Logical Interconnects > SNMP panel.

Additionally, if you have G6 or G7 servers being monitored by HPE OneView in your environment, you can configure the read community string that HPE OneView uses for monitoring these servers with SNMPv1.

Following is the list of MIBs that must be installed to receive and interpret the device traps forwarded by HPE OneView:

  • cpqfca.mib

  • cpqhlth.mib

  • cpqhost.mib

  • cpqida.mib

  • cpqide.mib

  • cpqiscsi.mib

  • cpqnic.mib

  • cpqoneview.mib

  • cpqpower.mib

  • cpqrack.mib

  • cpqscsi.mib

  • cpqinfo.mib

  • cpqsm2.mib

  • cpqstdeq.mib

  • cpqstsys.mib

  • rfc-1212.mib

  • rfc-1215.mib

  • rfc1155-smi.mib

  • rfc1213.mib

The MIBs are released as part of the HPE Systems Insight Manager - MIB Kit at http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc.
