Configuring an SNMP agent
Use the procedures in this section to:
•
Configure the SNMP agent that runs on the switch and implements the following MIBs:
• MIB-II
• Fabric Element MIB
• Fibre Alliance (FCMGMT) MIB
• Switch private MIB
NOTE:
For complete information on objects defined in MIBs, and steps to download MIB
variables to your SNMP workstation, see the McDATA E/OS SNMP Support Manual.
•
Configure network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP trap recipients.
An SNMP trap recipient is a network management station that receives messages through SNMP
for specific events that occur on the switch.
•
Define SNMP community names that SNMP managers use for reading variables.
•
Authorize write permissions for writable MIB variables.
NOTE:
SNMP managers may request, but will not receive, traps and SNMP data through SNMP
management stations that are not configured with community names.
To configure the SNMP agent:
1.
At the Hardware view page, select Configure > SNMP Agent.
The Configure SNMP dialog box is displayed, as shown in
a. For each trap recipient to be configured, type a community name of 32 or fewer
alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field.
The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure against
unauthorized viewing or use.
b. Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or disable write
authorization for the trap recipient (the default is disabled).
A check mark in the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the feature is
enabled, a management workstation user can change the HAFM appliance’s sysContact,
sysName, and sysLocation SNMP variables.
c. Select the Fibre Alliance MIB version supported on the director by clicking the list in the top
right corner of the dialog box.
Selections are 3.0 and 3.1.
