Select the Manual option to configure SNMP and complete the following steps.

a. Click the SNMP tab.

FIGURE 9

Add Fabric Discovery dialog box (SNMP - v1 tab)

b. Enter the duration (in seconds) after which the application times out in the Time-out

(sec) field.

c. Enter the number of times to retry the process in the Retries field.

d. Select the SNMP version from the SNMP Version list.

If you selected v1, continue with step e.

If you select v3, the SNMP tab displays the v3 required parameters. Go to step i.
To discover a Fabric OS device (not virtual fabric-capable), you must provide the
existing SNMPv3 username present in the switch.

To discover a Virtual Fabric device, you must configure SNMPv3 and your
SNMP v3 user account must be defined as a Fabric OS switch user.

When you discovers Virtual Fabric-enabled switch with the SNMPv3 username
“admin”, which is the same as the Fabric OS switch user, the Management
application automatically creates an SNMP username “admin” in the switch by
replacing the sixth username.

e. Specify the Read option by selecting Default ‘public’ or Custom.

f.

If you selected Custom, enter the community string in the Custom and Confirm
Custom fields.

g. Specify the Write option by selecting Default ‘private’ or Custom.

h. If you selected Custom, enter the community string in the Custom and Confirm

Custom fields.

Go to step 7.
