Simple Network Management Protocol 6 3. Enter the keytool command and respond to the prompts. Example of installing a root certificate C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.6.0\bin> keytool -import -alias RootCert -file RootCert.crt -keystore ..\lib\security\RootCerts Enter keystore password: changeit Owner: CN=Brocade, OU=Software, O=Brocade Communications, L=San Jose, ST=California, C=US Issuer: CN=Brocade, OU=Software, O=Brocade Communications, L=San Jose, ST=California, C=US Serial number: 0 Valid from: Thu Jan 15 16:27:03 PST 2007 until: Sat Feb 14 16:27:03 PST 2007 Certificate fingerprints: MD5: 71:E9:27:44:01:30:48:CC:09:4D:11:80:9D:DE:A5:E3 SHA1: 06:46:C5:A5:C8:6C:93:9C:FE:6A:C0:EC:66:E9:51:C2:DB:E6:4F:A1 Trust this certificate? [no]: yes Certificate was added to keystore In the example, changeit is the default password and RootCert is an example root certificate name. Simple Network Management Protocol The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard method for monitoring and managing network devices. Using SNMP components, you can program tools to view, browse, and manipulate Brocade switch variables and set up enterprise-level management processes. Every Brocade 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, set, trap, and inform 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 Brocade 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.
