Description: This specifies the policy for selecting the source address for outgoing SNMP responses. a) rfc1517 This is the default behavior if no other policy is configured. In this case the source address will be the address of the interface from which packet goes out of the box. b) configuredIP By setting this value will enable the SNMP agent to use IP addresses specified in hpicfSnmpResponseSourceAddress object as source address while sending the response. hpicfSnmpResponseSourceAddress must be set to a valid and active IP address before setting policy to configuredIP. Note: This IP address will be used in the SNMP response PDU provided it is configured as an IP address on any one of the interfaces of the device. c) configuredInterface By setting this value will enable the SNMP agent to use IP addresses configured on the interface specified by hpicfSnmpResponseSourceAddrIfIndex object as source address while sending the response. In case of multinet interface then smallest IP address present on the interface in lexicographical order will be used as source address while sending SNMP responses for requests. hpicfSnmpResponseSourceAddrIfIndex object must be set to a valid loopback interface number before setting policy to configuredInterface. Note: The configured interface's IP address will be used in the SNMP response PDU provided the interface has an IP address configured. d) dst_ip_of_request In this case, the destination IP address present in the IP header of received SNMP request will be used as source address in the SNMP response.

What is hpicfSnmpResponseSourceAddrPolicy?

This selects the policy the switch uses to pick the source IP address for outgoing SNMP GET/SET responses, ranging from the RFC 1517 default (the outbound interface's address) to a specifically configured IP, a configured interface's address, or the destination address of the incoming request. An admin changes this when NMS software expects SNMP responses to always originate from a stable management address rather than whichever interface the reply happens to route out of. For example, setting this to configuredIP(2) forces all SNMP responses to appear to come from the address in hpicfSnmpResponseSourceAddress, such as a dedicated loopback management IP.
