To discover a Virtual Fabric device, you must configure SNMP v3 and your SNMP v3 user
account must be defined as a Fabric OS switch user.
NOTE
When you discovers Virtual Fabric-enabled switch with the SNMP v3 username “admin”,
which is the same as the Fabric OS switch user, the Management application
automatically creates an SNMP username “admin” in the switch by replacing the sixth
username.
