Product Overview HP SNMP/XL provides an industry standard network management agent on the HP 3000/XL. This agent allows the HP 3000 to be managed or to manage other objects in a multivendor environment. HP SNMP/XL provides the HP 3000 with the Network Management Stack and Object Management Services. These services allow the HP 3000 to integrate network management applications that provide fault, performance, and configuration solutions. By providing the Stack and Object Management Services, the HP 3000 integrates into the HP Network Management Architecture. The Network Management Stack is the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as defined in RFC 1157. The SNMP stack implements the Simple Network Management Protocol to allow internetworked managers and agents to exchange network management information. The purpose of the SNMP standard is to provide a protocol for management of the Internet protocols such as TCP, IP, ICMP, and UDP. The Object Management Services supports the Management Information Base (MIB) as defined in RFC 1213, and various HP private extensions to the MIB. See the following section titled "Concepts and Definitions" as well as appendix B for more information on the MIB.
