Architectural Overview
•
The SNMP agent sends response messages to the SNMP manager from which
the request originated.
Most of the information in the MIB-II groups as supported by the TCP/IP Subagent
describe the HP TCP/IP subsystem and, if the interface is the ServerNet LAN Systems
Access (which supports parallel LAN I/O in a G-series or H-series ServerNet based
system), the underlying SLSA subsystem.
The only information the TCP/IP Subagent retrieves regarding an underlying X.25
Access Method (X25AM) subsystem (which supports wide area network data
communications over an X.25 packet-switching data network) is information returned
from inquiries to the HP TCP/IP subsystem.
TCP/IP Subagent Scenarios on page 8-3 illustrates valid and invalid configuration
scenarios to keep in mind when planning for your TCP/IP Subagent configuration. An
X indicates an invalid configuration.
