In my experience, MPE handles SNMP for which the MIBs are present/expected without noticeable overhead.

HOWEVER, I've seen systems hung for an hour at 100% (and not small systems) due to an snmpwalk request from an overzealous (or curious) windows or network admin.

Just my 2cts worth.

We use SNMP to send traps to SiteScope servers with Lund performance information.

But you do NOT want things interrogating your system for information.  In my experience (in particular, OpenView) the SNMP queries will work on the HP 3000, but will use a lot of resources.

Tracy,

I generally turn it off, for security reasons, as well as it stops the errors generated by non-cooperative networking departments.
