Using SNMP components, you can program tools to view, browse, and manipulate B-Series switch variables and set up enterprise-level management processes. Every B-Series switch carries an SNMP agent and management information base (MIB). The agent accesses MIB information about a device and makes it available to a network management station. You can manipulate information of your choice by trapping MIB elements using the Fabric OS command line interface (CLI), Web Tools, or DCFM. The SNMP access control list (ACL) provides a way for the administrator to restrict SNMP get and set operations to certain hosts and IP addresses. This is used for enhanced management security in the storage area network. For details on Brocade MIB files, naming conventions, loading instructions, and information about using Brocade's SNMP agent, see the Fabric OS MIB Reference. You can configure SNMPv3 and SNMPv1 for the automatic transmission of SNMP information to management stations. The configuration process involves configuring the SNMP agent and configuring SNMP traps. Use the snmpConfig command to configure the SNMP agent and traps for SNMPv3 or SNMPv1 configurations, and the security level. You can specify no security, authentication only, or authentication and privacy. The SNMP trap configuration specifies the MIB trap elements to be used to send information to the SNMP management station. There are two main MIB trap choices: • Brocade-specific MIB trap Associated with the Brocade-specific MIB (SW-MIB), this MIB monitors B-Series switches specifically. • FibreAlliance MIB trap Associated with the FibreAlliance MIB (FA-MIB), this MIB manages SAN switches and devices from any company that complies with FibreAlliance specifications. If you use both SW-MIB and FA-MIB, you may receive duplicate information. You can disable the FA-MIB, but not the SW-MIB. You can also use these additional MIBs and their associated traps: • FICON-MIB (for FICON environments) • SW-EXTTRAP Includes the swSsn (Software Serial Number) as a part of B-Series SW traps. For information on B-Series MIBs, see the Fabric OS MIB Reference. Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 101
