Viewing email notification settings
The ibrix_event command provides comprehensive information about email settings and
configured notifications.
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_event -L
Sample output follows:
Email Notification : Enabled
SMTP Server : mail.hp.com
From : [e-mail]
Reply To : [e-mail]
EVENT LEVEL TYPE DESTINATION
------------------------------------- ----- ----- -----------
asyncrep.completed ALERT EMAIL [e-mail]
asyncrep.failed ALERT EMAIL [e-mail]
Setting up SNMP notifications
X9000 Software supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) V1, V2, and V3.
NOTE: Users of software versions earlier than 4.3 should be aware that the single ibrix_snmp
command has been replaced by two commands, ibrix_snmpagent and ibrix_snmptrap.
If you have scripts that include ibrix_snmp, be sure to edit them to include the correct commands.
Whereas SNMPV2 security was enforced by use of community password strings, V3 introduces
the USM and VACM. Discussion of these models is beyond the scope of this document. Refer to
RFCs 3414 and 3415 at http://www.ietf.org for more information. Note the following:
• In the SNMPV3 environment, every message contains a user name. The function of the USM
is to authenticate users and ensure message privacy through message encryption and
decryption. Both authentication and privacy, and their passwords, are optional and will use
default settings where security is less of a concern.
• With users validated, the VACM determines which managed objects these users are allowed
to access. The VACM includes an access scheme to control user access to managed objects;
context matching to define which objects can be accessed; and MIB views, defined by subsets
of IOD subtree and associated bitmask entries, which define what a particular user can access
in the MIB.
Steps for setting up SNMP include:
• Agent configuration (all SNMP versions)
• Trapsink configuration (all SNMP versions)
• Associating event notifications with trapsinks (all SNMP versions)
• View definition (V3 only)
• Group and user configuration (V3 only)
X9000 Software implements an SNMP agent on the management console that supports the private
X9000 Software MIB. The agent can be polled and can send SNMP traps to configured trapsinks.
Setting up SNMP notifications is similar to setting up email notifications. You must associate events
to trapsinks and configure SNMP settings for each trapsink to enable the agent to send a trap
when an event occurs.
Configuring the SNMP agent
The SNMP agent is created automatically when the management console is installed. It is initially
configured as an SNMPv2 agent and is off by default.
