HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.1.1 administrator guide (5697-0235, December 2009)

100 Configuring standard security features
• FibreAlliance MIB trap
Associated with the FibreAlliance MIB (FA-MIB), this MIB manages SAN switches and devices from any
company that complies with FibreAlliance specifications.
If you use both SW-MIB and FA-MIB, you may receive duplicate information. You can disable the FA-MIB,
but not the SW-MIB.
You can also use these additional MIBs and their associated traps:
• FICON-MIB (for FICON environments)
• SW-EXTTRAP
Includes the swSsn (Software Serial Number) as a part of Brocade SW traps.
For information on Brocade MIBs, see the Fabric OS MIB Reference.
For information on the specific commands used in these procedures, see online help or the Fabric OS
Command Reference.
Setting the security level
Use the snmpConfig --set seclevel command to set the security level. You can specify no security,
authentication only, authentication and privacy, or off. You need to set the security for the GET and the SET
commands. For example, to configure for authentication and privacy for both commands:
switch:admin> snmpconfig --set seclevel
Select SNMP GET Security Level
(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 = No
Access): (0..3) [1] 2
Select SNMP SET Security Level
(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 = No
Access): (2..3) [2] 2
switch:admin> snmpconfig --show seclevel
GET security level = 2, SET level = 2
SNMP GET Security Level: Authentication and Privacy
SNMP SET Security Level: Authentication and Privacy
Using the snmpConfig command
Use the snmpConfig --set command to change either the SNMPv3 or SNMPv1 configuration. You
can also change access control, MIB capability, and system group.
