HPE Switches

HPE Switches provide switch inventory and ARP table information.

Types of Assets Fetched

This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

• Devices (fetches from switches)
• ARP tables (fetches from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE))
• Networks (via advanced setting)

Parameters

1. Host Name (required) - The hostname of the HPE Switches server.

2. Username and Password (required) - The credentials for a user account that has permission to fetch assets.

3. Protocol - Select the desired protocol from the dropdown, either SSH, SNMP V2, or SNMP V3.

   • SSH
     • Private Key (optional) - Upload a private key file. Axonius can use the Private Key in the file for authentication.

📘

Note

For authentication, you must specify at least password, but you can also specify both password and private key.

• Private Key Passphrase (optional) - Enter a private key passphrase, in the case that the private key is protected by a passphrase.
  • SSH Port (optional, default: 22) - Enter a value for the SSH port to use for the connection. Otherwise, Axonius uses the default port 22.
  • Verify Fingerprint (optional) - Enter the host key configured on the SSH server, which is used to verify that the client is connecting to the correct host. The value can be usually found in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
  • SNMP V2
    • SNMP Port (required, default: 161) - Enter a value for the SNMP port to use for the connection. Otherwise, Axonius uses the default port 161.
    • SNMP Read Community - Enter a value for the SNMP Read Community. This value requires read-only permissions used in SNMP v1/v2c to control access to a device’s monitoring data.
  • SNMP V3
    • SNMP Port (required, default: 161) - Enter a value for the SNMP port to use for the connection. Otherwise, Axonius uses the default port 161.
    • SNMPv3 Authentication Passphrase (authKey) (required) - Specify the user authentication key passphrase (authKey).
    • SNMPv3 Private Passphrase (privKey) (required) - Select the user private key passphrase (privKey).
    • SNMPv3 Authentication Type (authProtocol) (optional, default: hmac_md5) - Select the authentication type (authProtocol).
    • SNMPv3 Privacy Type (privProtocol) (optional, default: aescfb128) - Select the privacy type (privProtocol).
