Internet Protocol Routing Service
Virtual IP Host on Non-IP Networks
In host-only mode the HP router acts as an IP end node if bridging is not
configured, or as a bridge if bridging is configured to a network management
station. When using SNMP/IP-based HP Openview network management
products, the router is not autodiscovered and displayed on maps as a
router. This is because it does not meet the criterial for a router, even though
its ID is for a router. Also, because there is no IP routing information being
kept, the router cannot act as a default gateway for HP management
products to provide routing information for autodiscovery.
In an IPX network, the router is described by an SNMP/IPX Openview DOS
platform as a router. However, the router only supports SNMP/IP for
accessing the MIB.
