Port 383
HP Data Alarm Manager
HP Data Alarm Manager primarily uses port 383 for managing data alarms, typically within Hewlett-Packard network device environments. It helps administrators monitor and respond to threshold breaches or fault conditions by communicating alarm data between network management tools and HP hardware..
Technical Details
HP Data Alarm Manager on port 383 facilitates the communication of alarm status, alerts, and threshold events across HP networking devices and management systems, such as HP OpenView. It allows centralized network monitoring tools to receive timely data about device status, fault conditions, or operational anomalies.
This port supports both TCP and UDP transport protocols, offering flexibility depending on network configuration and requirements. TCP provides reliable, connection-oriented communication that ensures alarm details reach their destination, while UDP supports quicker, connectionless transmission, useful for frequent status updates or broadcast alerts.
Integration with HP's proprietary management platforms allows for automation, logging, and escalation workflows, improving the efficiency of network operations teams. The Data Alarm Manager protocol exposes detailed state information for hardware and environmental parameters, enabling proactive network health management.
