Note
If a daemon is not running, try restarting it by using the commands ovstop
daemon-name and ovstart daemon-name. If a daemon is still not running, an
HPOV license issue may exist. For more information, go to

Step 3
From HPOV, enter the SNMP community strings and target loopback IP addresses for each Cisco IOS
device. From the Options menu, select SNMP Configuration.
In the SNMP Configuration screen, enter the following information:
Target field—The target loopback IP address (for example, 172.21.10.1)
Community field—The Read-Only (RO) community string (for example, 5urf5h0p)
Set Community field—The Read-Write (RW) community string (for example, 5crapmeta1)
Note
Accept the default SNMP parameters in the other fields in the SNMP Configuration
screen.
Caution
Do not use the SNMP community strings “public,” “private,” or “cisco.” These strings are
well-known within the industry, and they are common defaults. These strings are open
invitations to attacks—even if you use filters.
