You may want to setup a "view" see information below....

HP OpenView
>From Subodh Nijsure:

HP OpenView can tie up Internet BGP speaking routers with large routing
tables for quite a while transferring the IP routing table. This happens
every 24 hours and is at the very least an unnecessary annoyance: HPOV
won't have to explore past the Internet gateway; you're not going to
discover
and manage the Internet.

If you want OpenView to stop getting the ipRoute table, create a view
that excludes ipRoutingTable on the BGP speaking router:
snmp-server community foobar view viewForOV RO
snmp-server view viewForOV internet included
snmp-server view viewForOV ip.21 excluded
snmp-server view viewForOV ip.22 excluded
snmp-server view viewForOV ifMIB excluded

Configure HP OpenView so that it polls this router with community string
'foobar'.
