Chapter Understanding Brocade SNMP 1 The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard method of monitoring and managing network devices. This protocol promotes interoperability, because SNMP-capable systems must adhere to a common set of framework and language rules. Understanding the components of SNMP makes it possible to use third-party tools to view, browse, and manipulate Brocade switch variables (MIBs) remotely as well as to set up an enterprise-level management process.

Setting the SNMP Security Level
Recipients for SNMP traps are restricted according to security levels. Security levels are selected
and set for a switch using the
configure
command. To select and set SNMP security levels, do the
following.
1.
Disable the switch using the
switchDisable
command. Some
configure
command options are
available only when the switch is disabled.
2.
Log in to the switch as admin.
3.
Enter the
configure
command.
Configure options are displayed.
4.
When the
snmp attributes
option is displayed, type
y
after the prompt.
SNMP security levels are displayed.
5.
After
Select SNMP Security Level:
, enter the security level (0, 1, or 2) inside the brackets.
Refer to
Table 1
for a description of the security level options.
The following example sets the SNMP security level to
1
(authentication only). This setting
allows all snmpv1 users to perform GET and SET operations on mibs, but creates an exception
for snmpv3 users that do not have authentication and privacy privileges (noAuthnoPriv).

Not all options will be available on an enabled switch. To disable the switch,
use the "switchDisable" command.
