Configuring the Director Configuring SNMP Trap Message Recipients Use the procedures in this section to: • Configure the SNMP agent that runs on the director and implements the following MIBs: - MIB-II. - Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB. - Director private MIB. - Fibre Alliance MIB. NOTE: For complete information on objects defined in MIBs and steps to download MIB variables to your SNMP workstation, refer to the hp StorageWorks CLI reference guide for directors and edge switches. • Configure network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP trap recipients. An SNMP trap recipient is a network management station that receives messages through SNMP for specific events that occur on the director. • Define SNMP community names that SNMP managers use for reading variables. • Authorize write permissions for writable MIB variables. NOTE: SNMP managers may request, but will not receive, traps and SNMP data through SNMP management stations that are not configured with community names. To configure the SNMP agent: 1. At the Hardware View page, choose Configure > SNMP Agent. The Configure SNMP dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 3-10. a. For each trap recipient to be configured, type a community name of 32 or fewer alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field. The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure against unauthorized viewing or use. b. Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or disable write authorization for the trap recipient (default is disabled). A check mark in the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the feature is enabled, a management workstation user can change the HAFM server's sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation SNMP variables. 3-22 director product manager user guide
