Select trap severities
To select a trap severity, do one of the following:
• Highlight the item, and then click the right arrow.
• Highlight the item, and then drag and drop it into the right window.
For a definition of trap severities, see "Trap severities (on page 36)." When an event causes a trap to be
generated with the severity listed in the right window, it is sent to the trap destination. For VC-FC modules, the
trap severity is fixed at INFORMATIONAL and cannot be modified.
If you do not have the required user role permission to select a category, that section is disabled. For a listing
of trap categories and the required administrative role permission, see "Trap categories and required user
role permissions (on page 36)."
Adding SNMP access
By configuring addresses on the SNMP Access screen, administrators can control which SNMP clients
receive responses from VCM when they query for SNMP information.
To add an SNMP access, right-click the header row of the SNMP Access table, or click Add at the bottom of
the SNMP Access table.
1. Enter a unique IP address for the network to be given access:
a. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 radio button.
b. Enter the IP address, including a valid network mask bits value (1-32).
2. Click OK to save the information and return to the main SNMP configuration screen.
If you enter information that is invalid (for example, if you use a space in the IP address), a red box appears
around that field. Hover the mouse over the box to see information regarding the error.
SNMP Configuration (VC-FC)
By enabling SNMP for VC-FC modules, network management systems can monitor the VC-FC modules in the
domain for events, such as warnings and errors, which might require corrective actions. You must have
storage or domain role permission to administer FC SNMP settings.
