Does anyone know how to change the default SNMP community name in MP and/or GSP on these machines? Is it possible to turn off SNMP for the MP/GSP? I have gone through the menus and I can not see a way to do either one.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Default SNMP community in MP/GSP
The release notes of some other MP versions (in fact Integrity) tells about the
MP:CM> SA
command.
I found this thread here:

AFAIK the devices will use IPMI for management, not SNMP.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Default SNMP community in MP/GSP
I just got off the phone with a tech from the HPRC.
Essentially, on the rp34xx and rp44xx machines there is NOT CURRENTLY a way to change the default SNMP community string, nor is there a way to turn off SNMP completely. Apparently this functionality is available on the higher end rp machines, but for some unknown reason it was disabled on the rp34xx and rp44xx machines.
Now, the "good" news is that the lab is supposed to be working on an MP firmware update that will allow SNMP to be turned off and/or allow the default community string to be changed. However, there is no release date for this firmware level.
Also, regarding the same issue on the GSP on my rp5470s.... Apparently SNMP was enabled in GSP firmware B.02.20 but, again, they didn't make allowances for turning it off or change the community name. They are supposedly looking into modifying this as well but, since the rp5470s are getting older, that may or may not happen.
I find it very short-sighted of HP developers that they would enable something, but not allow you to modify the community string or turn off the functionality. SNMP is a big sticking point with security auditers and stuff like this just adds fuel to the fire.
If someone at HP reads this, please do anything you can to make these MP/GSP firmware updates a higher priority. I don't want the auditers to find this again next year.
