Configuring the Switch
Configure SNMP
Use the procedures in this section to:
• Configure the SNMP agent that runs on the Switch and implements the following
MIBs:
— MIB-II.
— Fabric Element MIB.
— Fibre Alliance (FCMGMT) MIB.
— Switch private MIB.
For complete information on objects defined in MIBs and steps to download MIB
variables to your SNMP workstation, refer to the hp StorageWorks SNMP
reference guide for directors and edge switches.
• Configure network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP trap
recipients.
An SNMP trap recipient is a network management station that receives messages
through SNMP for specific events that occur on the Switch.
• Define SNMP community names that SNMP managers use for reading variables.
• Authorize write permissions for writable MIB variables.
NOTE: SNMP managers may request, but will not receive, traps and SNMP data through
SNMP management stations that are not configured with community names.
