Interfaces for activating Fabric Watch 6 Fabric Watch and SNMP You can integrate Fabric Watch with existing enterprise systems management tools, such as SNMP. The Fabric Watch Management Information Base (MIB) lets system administrators configure fabric elements, receive SNMP traps generated by fabric events, and obtain the status of fabric elements through SNMP-based enterprise managers. NOTE The following instructions apply to the AdvantNet MIB browser. There may be some variation in the procedures when other MIB browsers are used. Activating Fabric Watch using SNMP 1. Open a MIB browser. 2. Load the appropriate MIB files if you have not already done so. First load the Brocade common MIB file, (SW_v5_3.mib). If this is successful, the system displays a screen similar to Figure 9. FIGURE 9 Configuring Fabric Watch using SNMP In Figure 9, the MIB browser populated the left side of the screen with a MIB tree that you can navigate. 3. Open Web Tools and select Tasks > Manage > Switch Admin. 4. Click Show Advanced Mode. 5. On the SNMP tab, enter the IP address of the trap receiver and the severity level, and click Apply. NOTE The severity level must be informational (4) in order to forward threshold alerts. Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 33 53-1001188-01
