Using SNMP to Manage the Switch
SNMP Support
The switch-resident SNMP agent and connection:
◆ Supports SNMPv1 manager.
◆ Enables access to variables in the standard MIB-II definition, the
Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB, and switch Private Enterprise
MIB. All groups and variables in the supported MIBs are read
only by SNMP management stations unless noted otherwise.
◆ Enables the switch to send unsolicited trap messages to the
network management station when specific events occur on the
switch. The traps supported are:
• Standard generic traps
• Switch enterprise-specific traps
Access to the switch resident SNMP agent is through the switch
Product Manager.
SNMP Management The Connectrix service processor supports the FibreAlliance
FCMGMT MIB. The switches support the Fibre Channel Fabric
Element MIB, standard TCP/IP MIB-II definition (RFC1213), and
switch-specific MIBs.
Unsolicited SNMP trap messages are transmitted to authorized
management workstations.
◆ When SNMP notifications are configured in the switch Product
Manager, unsolicited SNMP trap messages can be transmitted to
up to six authorized management workstations.
◆ When SNMP notifications are configured in the Connectrix
Manager, unsolicited trap messages can be transmitted to up to 12
authorized management workstations.
Unsolicited SNMP trap messages signal operational state changes
and failure conditions. Generic SNMP traps include:
◆ coldStart — Reports that the SNMP agent is reinitializing due to a
power-on reset.
◆ warmStart — Reports that the agent is reinitializing due to an
Initial Machine Load (IML) or Initial Program Load (IPL).
◆ authorizationFailure — Reports access by an unauthorized SNMP
manager.
