Note : We strongly recommend you to refer the Brocade Fabric OS Reference Manual before executing the above commands. Use the command snmpconfig -show snmpv1 to verify whether you have successfully added OpManager Server IP Address to the Trap Recipients list.
In newer versions of Fabric OS, use the command snmpconfig -set snmpv1 to add OpManager Server IP Address to the Trap Recipients list.In older versions of Fabric OS, use agtcfgset command in the Brocade Fabric OS command line interface to specify the Trap Recipient.
BROCADE SAN SWITCH ENABLE SNMP INSTALL
You must download Brocade DCFM or Network Advisor to install the Integrated SMI Agent. This can be done directly on the switch itself by connecting to its Web management interface. Prerequisites for monitoring Brocade Switches / Directors SNMP must have been enabled on the Brocade SAN switch. OpManager provides monitoring and management of Brocade Silkworm switches and Directors Models Supported When an event occurs and its severity level is equal to or below the set value, the SNMP event traps are forwarded to the trap recipients(SNMP servers).Monitoring Brocade Silkworm switches and directors CLI interface is interactive for all parameters except mibCapability, which can be configured both interactively and with command line options on switches and Directors running Fabric OS v6.4.0 and later.Įach event trap level is in relation with the event's severity level. " snmpConfig" is the Brocade switch CLI command used to manage the configuration of SNMPv1/v3 agent in the switch. Trap Entry 6: No trap recipient configured yet Trap Entry 5: No trap recipient configured yet Trap Entry 4: No trap recipient configured yet Trap Entry 3: No trap recipient configured yet Trap Entry 2: No trap recipient configured yet Switch01:FID128:admin> snmpconfig -show snmpv3 To check the SNMP V3 settings, use -show snmpv3 option. SNMPv1 community and trap recipient configuration: Switch01:FID128:admin> snmpconfig -show snmpv1 To check the current SNMP settings for SNMPv1, issue snmpconfig command with a privileged account(especially admin account) New switches won't have anything configured. In case of new switches, you can ignore the step. snmpConfig is the Brocade switch CLI command used to manage the configuration of SNMPv1/v3 agent in the switch. The next step is to check the current SNMP attributes and server address configured on the switch. The current overall switch status policy parameters: Switch01:FID128:admin> switchstatuspolicyshow To view the current policy settings, issue the command as below, The first step is to check the switch status policy settings as the switch health status is based on Power supplies, Temperatures,Fans, WWN servers, Standby CP, Blades, Flash, Marginal ports, Faulty ports, Missing SFPs, and so on. This means that there is no authentication mechanism configured for sending traps. We can set different security levels for a switch using the snmpconfig -set seclevel command.įor this setup which I am using, the security level is set to be 0. By default the security level is set to 0( No security). Recipients for SNMP traps are restricted according to security levels and the levels can be changed according to the need. SNMP traps makes it possible to use different tools to view, browse,and manipulate Brocade switch MIBs remotely as well as to set up an enterprise-level management mechanism as every Brocade SAN director supports SNMP. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an ideal method for monitoring and managing all types of mission critical devices which has higher SLA.
