Using SNMP to Manage the Switch
SNMPv1 Transports
The switch SNMP agent supports UDP/IP through the switch 
Product Manager. This transport provides immediate plug-and-play 
support for the switch.
Agent Configuration
Use the Identification and SNMP Agent options on the Configure 
menu to configure the following parameters:
◆ Identification:
• sysContact (contact person)
• sysName (switch’s name)
• sysLocation (location)
• fcFPortPhysAdminStatus (administrative status of an F_Port)
◆ SNMP Agent:
• SNMPv1 communities (up to six)
• Trap recipients (one per community)
• Write authorization for sysContact, sysName, sysLocation, 
fcFPortPhysAdminStatus.
• Enable authorization traps. This enables traps to be sent when 
unauthorized stations try to access switch SNMP information. 
• Override default user datagram (UDP) port numbers for trap 
recipients.
The first three parameters can also be configured using the 
SNMPv1 SET command with an appropriate community.
To access switch-specific variables, download the DS-32M2 Private 
Enterprise MIB (ef-6000). Download the MIBs for SNMP 
management stations from the Connectrix Manager’s Web page. The 
URL for the Web page depends on the Connectrix service processor’s 
host name on your network. To access MIB-II and Fabric Element 
variables, download the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB.
