NOM Fault and Performance Monitoring

Software Version: 2017.11

Last Updated: October 2017

This document provides an overview of the SNMP MIBs and network devices supported in HPE NOM Software version 2017.11

ATTENTION: If a specific device model is not explicitly listed in Supported Devices, refer to Supported SNMP MIBs to determine whether you can expect the device to be properly discovered and monitored. For example, many devices that implement the Standard SNMP MIBs or are a new device model in an already supported product line are managed perfectly well by NOM, even though that model is not yet listed here. To request that HPE validate or add support for a specific device model, contact your HPE support representative to provide the necessary information.

Device Driver Pack

The NNMi Device Driver Pack provides support for additional devices. You can download the NNMi Device Driver Pack (along with supporting documentation) from Micro Focus Marketplace.

Supported SNMP MIBs

The section contains a summary of the Standard and Vendor-specific SNMP MIBs supported by NOM. To determine if your device also supports the relevant MIBs, consult your equipment vendor documentation or use Actions  → List Supported MIBs in the NOM Console for the selected node. Note, you may need to load the relevant MIBs into NOM to produce a complete listing for the selected node.

You can usually expect the device to be properly discovered and monitored by NOM as long as the device supports either the Standard or relevant Vendor-specific MIBs specified for the associated NOM feature. There are exceptions, of course, where a device vendor only implements a portion of a listed MIB; thereby limiting the ability for NOM to support the associated feature for that device.   The Standard MIBs are supported by NOM for all devices that implement those MIBs. The Vendor-specific MIBs are only supported by NOM for specific device families (filtered by SNMP sysObjectID) from that equipment vendor. In most cases, the vendor-specific filters are quite broad, so most device models from that vendor are included.

Where one or more of the Standard MIBs is known to be supported by a listed vendor, the notation "(Std)" is included under that Vendor section. If your equipment vendor is not listed here, then refer only to the Standard MIBs section.

NOTE: Features (columns) denoted with "NOM Express, Premium, or Ultimate." require a valid NOM Express, Premium, or Ultimate license be installed for the those features and device support to be available.

Supported Devices

The device support information in this section is based on the latest information available to HPE at the time of publication. Note that device vendors can at any time alter a device's MIB usage (for example, in newer system software versions) and invalidate NOM's interpretation of that device's MIB data.

ATTENTION: If a specific device vendor, model or NOM feature is not explicitly listed in this section, refer to Supported SNMP MIBs to determine whether you can expect the device to be properly discovered and monitored. For example, many devices that implement the Standard SNMP MIBs or are a new device model in an already supported product line are managed perfectly well by NOM, even though that specific model (sysObjectID) is not yet listed here.
