Agent configuration
The list below shows the parameters that can be configured.
v
SNMPv1 communities (up to 6)
v
trap recipients (1 per community)
v
sysName
v
sysContact
v
sysLocation
v
authenticationFailure – indicates the agent has received a protocol message that
is not properly authenticated. This trap, by default, is disabled.
v
swEventTrap Level – indicates the swEventTrap severity level in conjunction with
an event severity level. If the event severity level of an event is at or below the
set value, the SNMP trap, swEventTrap, is sent to configured recipients. By
default, this value is set at 0, implying that no swEventTrap is sent. There are
several possible values:
v
0 – none
v
1 – critical
v
2 – error
v
3 – warning
v
4 – informational
v
5 – debug
Use the Telnet
agtcfgSet
command or SNMP to change these parameters.
Available MIB and trap files
You can download the MIB definitions and Enterprise trap definitions from our Web
site at:
www.ibm.com/storage/fcswitch
Note:
Use the term port number to number the fibre-channel ports on a switch. The
value is from 0 through 15. In the various MIB definition files, there is the
notion of port index, which by convention forbids the use of 0 as its value.
For the switch, the port index for fibre-channel ports ranges from 1 through
16 respectfully.
Managing using the management server
The Management Server allows for the discovery of the physical and logical
topology that comprise a fibre channel SAN. It provides several advantages for
managing a fibre channel fabric:
v
It is accessed by an external fibre channel node at address xFFFFFA.
v
It is distributed on every 2109 Model S16 Switch within a fabric.
v
It provides an flat view of the overall fabric configuration (without zones).
Because the management server is accessed using its well-known address, an
application can access management information with a minimal knowledge of the
existing configuration. An application accesses one well-known place to obtain
management information about the entire fabric.
