SNMP-based monitoring
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
facilitates the exchange of management information
between network devices.
An agent resides in the FibreBridge which takes
information from the FibreBridge and translates it into
a form compatible with SNMP. If certain conditions
arise, the agent sends asynchronous notifications
(traps) to a client.
Note
Consult your network administrator for further
assistance with SNMP.
1 If you are not already in the ExpressNAV
interface, type the IP address of your
FibreBridge in a standard browser as found in
Using ExpressNAV on page 27, click Enter
Here, type in your user name and password,
and click
OK.
2 On the left hand menu, click Remote Mgt.
3 The Remote Management page appears.
Click on the enabled radio button next to the
SNMP heading.
4 Click on the appropriate radio button for SNMP
Traps, SNMP Extended Traps and Auto Log
Sense.
•
SNMP Traps and SNMP Extended Traps
are notifications for SNMP functions such as
device transition and device error.
• Auto Log Sense controls whether current
data from log pages in a SCSI target device
is available automatically.
5 Enter the IP addresses of the those who should
receive messages (SNMP trap recipients) in
the text boxes on the left.
6 Select the type of message you wish each
recipient to receive from the drop down box
next to each address.
