HP ProCurve 1810G-24 - some problems with SNMP

[DSV12]

Here is HP ProCurve 1810G-24 with two latest firmware - 1.6 and 1.8. After a quick test found:

1) SNMP is impossible to turn off (for 1800G it was possible).

2) You can't change community name as was for 1800G - it may be only default 'public' string.

3) Very slow SNMP answer if you read large table (~600-700 variables). The first few variables are read quickly but more answers are getting slower and slower until the timeout. 1800 works well with the same sizes of table.

4)Explicit error - in reply to dot1dTpFdbStatus you get incorrect status: 1(other) instead correct 3(learned) for learned MAC's.

I can not get the switch to join or be discovered by Procurve Manager because it fails to see the WRITE community name. I can't see any fields on the web interface that let you manage SNMP at all. I need this to join Procurve. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest release. (1.8)

1810G has only readonly SNMP features. And latest firmware at now is 1.14 (prev 1.13).

Have you found a solution?

HP ProCurve 1810G-8 - a similar problem with SNMP:
"Very slow SNMP answer if you read large table (~600-700 variables). The first few variables are read quickly but more answers are getting slower and slower until the timeout".

Firmware v1.6, 1.8 and last 1.14.

I ask the Support service to solve the given problem.

HP ProCurve 1810G-8 and firmware v1.16:

The problem with SNMP has remained :(

Yes, I can confirm this. But for me a lot worse that v1.16 has not solved the problem with disappearing management interface.

Was having the same problem trying to turn off SNMP. I have 0.0.0.0 as my default gateway. I entered 192.168.2.0 and unticked SNMP and hit Apply. It gave me an error about the Gateway being wrong but when I hit refresh, SNMP is still unchecked. WEIRD!

I've received firmware 1.18. I can confirm it corrects problem 4).

Good news. You do not know when the v1.18 will be available publicly?

I can email you, if you want.
