SNMP Transports
The SNMP manage node residing on the embedded processor supports UDP/IP over the Ethernet interface
or any FC-IP interface (see Figure 3-1
). This transport provides an immediate Plug and Play support for the
switch once the IP address has been assigned.
MIB-II Support
There are eleven groups of objects specified in MIB-II. The switch's SNMP manage node supports three of
these groups. The eight additional groups do not apply.
The three groups supported include the following:
System group (object ID is {iso, org, dod, internet, mgmt, mib-2, 1})
Interfaces group (object ID is {iso, org, dod, internet, mgmt, mib-2, 2})
SNMP group (object ID is {iso, org, dod, internet, mgmt, mib-2, 11})
The following variables are modifiable via the SNMP set command, given an appropriate community with
read-write access.
sysDescr System description: the default value is set as Fibre Channel Switch
sysObjectID System object identifier vendor's authoritative identification (1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1)
sysUpTime The time since the manage node was last initialized
sysContact The identification and contact information for this system. By default, this is set as Field Support.
sysLocation The node's physical location. The default setting is End User Premise.
The interface group supports three interface drivers: software loopback, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel IP. Dell
is not currently supporting Fibre Channel IP.
Fabric Element MIB Support
The following five object groups are defined:
Configuration group
Operation group
Error group
Accounting group
Capability group
The manage node supports all groups.
