Configuring SNMP
1
To define a domain name, enter a command such as the following.
ServerIronADX(config)# ip dns domain-name brocade.com
Syntax: [no] ip dns domain-name <name>
Defining DNS servers
You can define up to four DNS servers for each DNS entry. The first entry serves as the primary
default address (207.95.6.199). If a query to the primary address fails to be resolved after three
attempts, the next gateway address will be queried for three times as well. This process will
continue for each defined gateway address until a query is resolved. The order in which the default
gateway addresses are polled is tied to the order in which they are entered when initially defined as
shown in the example.
To define DNS servers, enter a command such as the following.
ServerIronADX(config)#ip dns server-address 207.95.6.199 205.96.7.1 208.95.7.25
Syntax: [no] ip dns server-address <ip-addr>
Configuring DNS Resolver
The Domain Name Server (DNS) Resolver feature allows you to use just a host name rather than a
fully-qualified domain name when you use Telnet, ping, and trace-route commands.
To configure the feature, you specify the domain name, then specify the IP addresses of up to four
DNS servers that have authority for the domain.
For example, if you define the domain “example.com” on a Brocade device, you can initiate a ping
to a host on that domain by specifying only the host name in the command. You do not need to
specify the host’s entire domain name.
As an example, here are two CLI commands.
ServerIronADX# ping nyc01
ServerIronADX# ping nyc01.example.com
The first command uses only the host name. The second command uses the fully-qualified domain
name for the host.
Configuring SNMP
This section contains information on configuring SNMP.
SNMP support
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 1 and SNMPv2c are enabled by default and
cannot be disabled. For SNMPv3 you need to enable the device to process SNMPv3 packets.
Traps
To display a subset of the supported traps, use the show snmp server command. Some of the traps
cannot be disabled. Consult the related MIB for more information.
