E Simple Network Management Protocol
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) provides monitoring and trap functions for managing
the module through third-party applications that support SNMP. The module firmware supports
SNMP versions 1 and 2 and a QLogic management information base (MIB) (see “Management
Information Base ” (page 252)). You may format traps using SNMP version 1 or 2.
SNMP parameters
You can set the SNMP parameters using the CLI. (For command details, see the “set SNMP
command” (page 220))
Table 29 (page 251) describes the SNMP parameters.
Table 29 SNMP parameters
DescriptionParameter
A password that authorizes an SNMP management server to read information from the
module. This is a write-only field. The value on the module and the SNMP management
Read community
server must be the same. The read community password can be up to 32 characters,
excluding the number sign (#), semicolon (;), and comma (,). The default is password is
private.
A password that authorizes an SNMP management server to receive traps. This is a write-only
field. The value on the module and the SNMP management server must be the same. The
Trap community
trap community password can be up to 32 characters, excluding the number sign (#),
semicolon (;), and comma (,). The default password is private.
Specifies the name of the module location. The name can be up to 64 characters, excluding
the number sign (#), semicolon (;), and comma (,). The default is undefined.
System location
Specifies the name of the person to be contacted to respond to trap events. The name can
be up to 64 characters, excluding the number sign (#), semicolon (;), and comma (,). The
default is undefined.
System contact
Enables or disables the generation of authentication traps in response to authentication
failures. The default is disabled.

SNMP trap configuration parameters
SNMP trap configuration lets you set up to eight trap destinations. Choose from Traps 1–Trap 8
to configure each trap. Table 30 (page 251) describes the parameters for configuring an SNMP
trap.
Table 30 SNMP trap configuration parameters
DescriptionParameter
Enables or disables trap n. If disabled, the trap is not configured.Trap n enabled
Specifies the IP address to which the SNMP traps are sent. A maximum of eight trap addresses
are supported. The default address for traps is 0.0.0.0.
Trap address*
Port number on which the trap is sent. The default is 162. If the trap destination is not enabled,
then this value is 0 (zero). Most SNMP managers and management software listen on this
port for SNMP traps.
Trap port*
Specifies the SNMP version (1 or 2) with which to format traps.Trap version
* Trap address (other than 0.0.0.0.) and trap port combinations must be unique. For example, if trap 1 and trap 2
have the same address, then they must have different port values. Similarly, if trap 1 and trap 2 have the same port
value, they must have different addresses.
