PREFACE HP SNMP/XL is bundled with the links and comes with the LAN link, token ring link, X.25 link, Fiber Distributed Data Interface link, and the point-to-point link. HP SNMP/XL is started automatically at system startup. This manual describes how to use HP SNMP/XL to allow 900 Series HP 3000 systems to actively participate in the management of the network in which they are installed. Special Note MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers. In HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories). Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating system for HP 3000s, not based on the PA-RISC architecture. MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in what is known as compatibility mode.
