Activating and accessing Fabric Watch46
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. If not already done, load the appropriate MIB files. 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.
