SNMP notification configuration
In environments in which you have a high number of messages (for example, hundreds per day)
coming from a variety of switches, you might want to receive them in a single location and view
them using a graphical user interface (GUI). In this type of scenario, SNMP notifications might be
the most efficient notification method. You can avoid having to log on to each switch individually as
you would have to do for error log notifications.
SNMP notifications are configured using the snmpConfig command and within Fabric Watch, using
alarms. SNMP traps generate based on the configuration in a logical switch. For example, one
logical switch can have the temperature sensor set at 60º C as the high threshold and another
logical switch can have the temperature sensor set at 80º C. Fabric Watch triggers raslog and
SNMP trap alarms in each logical switch based on the configuration.
See “SNMP notification configuration” on page 74 for details about setting alarms.
For details about SNMP configuration, including traps, see the snmpConfig commands in the
Fabric OS Command Reference and the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
