IP configuration requirements
To be able to use SNMP Monitor for performance monitoring, make sure the following requirements
are met:
• Ensure that SNMP is enabled on the devices you want to monitor and that SNMP community
strings have been defined for set and get operations.
• Make sure discovery has been run and the devices appear on the Network Object Manager
tree. If a device is not on the tree, add the device using Network Object Manager.
• Define what data you want to collect.
• If you need to monitor devices within specific device groups, you must create the device
groups.
• You must have the SNMP Monitor privilege in your user account or role.
Management application comes with default MIB files, such as standard MIB and Brocade
proprietary MIB files.
