# HP Enterprise Switch by SNMP

## Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of HP Enterprise Switch monitoring by Zabbix via SNMP and doesn't require any external scripts.

## Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- HP ProCurve J4900B Switch 2626 ProCurve J4900B Switch 2626, revision H.10.31, ROM H.08.02 (/sw/code/build/fish(mkfs))
- HP J9728A 2920-48G Switch HP J9728A 2920-48G Switch, revision WB.16.03.0003, ROM WB.16.03 (/ws/swbuildm/rel_tacoma_qaoff/code/build/anm(swbuildm_rel_tacoma_qaoff_rel_tacoma)) (Formerly ProCurve)"

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.

## Setup

Refer to the vendor documentation.
