Chapter 3 Fabric Manager Server
Modifying Fabric Manager Server
SNMP Specific
• snmp.preferTCP—If this option is set to true, TCP will be the default protocol for the Fabric
Manager Server to communicate with switches. By default, this setting is true. For those switches
that do not have have TCP enabled, the Fabric Manager Server uses UDP. The advantage of this
setting is the ability to designate one TCP session for each SNMP user on a switch. It also helps to
reduce timeouts and increase scalability.
Note If you set this option to false, the same choice must be set in Fabric Manager. The default value
of snmp.preferTCP for Fabric Manager is true.

• pmchart.currenttime—Specifies the end time to generate a Performance Manager chart. This
should only be used for debugging purposes.
