HP Advanced Server Management configuration:

This configuration script will configure SNMP to integrate with the HP SIM and
the HP System Management Homepage by editting the snmpd.conf file. The HP-SNMP-Agents can also exist in a more secure
SNMP environment (e.g. VACM) that you have previously configured. See the
hp-snmp-agents(4) man page for specific details on how to configure the VACM entries
in the 'snmpd.conf' file. You may press <ctrl+c> now to exit now if needed.

You will now be asked a series of SNMP configuration questions.  How you answer
these question will affect the way SNMP behaves.  Configuring SNMP could have
security implications on your system. If you are not sure how to answer a
question, you can abort by pressing <Ctrl-c> and no changes will be made to
your SNMP configuration.
