SNMP-based enterprise managers
Use SNMP-based enterprise managers to:
• Query the MIB variable for individual fabric and switch elements.
• Query and modify threshold and alarm configurations.
• Receive alarm notification via SNMP traps.
• View and configure the mail database.
NOTE
The following instructions apply to the AdvantNet MIB browser. There may be some variation in the
procedures when other MIB browsers are used.
To configure Fabric Watch with an SNMP-based enterprise manager, begin by connecting to the
switch using a MIB browser:
1. Open a MIB browser.
2. Load the appropriate MIB files if you have not already done so. First load the Brocade common
MIB file, followed by the Brocade software MIB file. The system should respond with a screen
similar to the following:
The MIB browser has populated the left side of the screen with a MIB tree that you can
navigate.
3. Begin a telnet session with the switch and type the agtCfgSet command. For information on
the agtCfgSet command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference.
4. Type the IP address for the switch into the Host field. Type the community into the Community
field. Type the write community into the Write Community field, if you want to perform set
operations.
