Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Configuring SNMP Proxy Settings
Some networks use an SNMP proxy agent to communicate with network devices. The following diagram shows the SNMP communication steps NNMi uses if you configure an SNMP Proxy Address
and an SNMP Proxy Port
using Configuration > Communication Configuration from the NNMi console.
Tip For the alternate method of configuring SNMP proxy settings from the command line, see the nnmcommunication.ovpl
reference page.
- The NNMi management server sends an SNMP request to an SNMP proxy address and SNMP proxy port to obtain information from the managed router and the managed switch.
- The SNMP proxy server determines where to send the SNMP request, then sends SNMP requests to the managed router and switch to obtain the information requested by the NNMi management server.
- The managed switch and router respond to the SNMP proxy server (using the SNMP Proxy Address and SNMP Proxy Port) with the requested information.
-
The SNMP proxy server responds to the NNMi management server (using the configured SNMP port).
Note NNMi supports SNMP proxy servers that support using the SecurityPackAgentAddressOid OID (.1.3.6.1.4.1.99.12.45.1.1). Use the following property to include this OID in SNMP requests for devices using SNMP proxy settings:
com.hp.nnm.snmp.USE_PROXY_VARBIND=true
The default setting for this property is false.
-
The SNMP proxy server forwards SNMP informs and traps from the managed devices to NNMi. NNMi supports the use of the following OIDs to determine the source of incoming traps forwarded from an SNMP proxy:
- TrapForwardingAddressTypeOid .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.2.19.1.1.2.0
- TrapForwardingAddressOid .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.2.19.1.1.3.0
- Rfc3584TrapAddressOid .1.3.6.1.6.3.18.1.3.0 (RFC 3584)
- Rfc3584TrapCommunityOid .1.3.6.1.6.3.18.1.4.0 (RFC 3584)
When using NNMi with an SNMP proxy server, ask the proxy vendor if they support the OIDs in this list.
