Configuring SNMP

This section contains information on configuring SNMP.

SNMP support

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 1 and SNMPv2c are enabled by default and
cannot be disabled. For SNMPv3 you need to enable the device to process SNMPv3 packets.

Traps

To display a subset of the supported traps, use the show snmp server command. Some of the traps
cannot be disabled. Consult the related MIB for more information.

Partial trap list:

•

SNMP Authentication – Indicates a failed attempt to access the device through SNMP using an
invalid SNMP community string.

•

Cold Start – Indicates a restart from a powered down state.

•

Link Up – Indicates that a port link has come up.

•

Link Down – Indicates that a port link has gone down.

•

Lock Address Violation – Indicates that a locked port received a packet from a MAC address
that is not allowed access to that port.

•

Maximum Session – Indicates that the maximum number of sessions has been reached. A
session is either a send or receive link between the Brocade Virtual ADX and a real server. Two
sessions make a two-way connection between the Brocade Virtual ADX and a server.

•

TCP SYN Limit – Indicates that the maximum TCP SYN rate has been reached on a real server.

•

Real Server Up – Indicates that a real server has come up.

•

Real Server Down – Indicates that a real server has gone down.

•

Real Server Port Up – Indicates that a port on a real server has come up.

•

Real Server Port Down – Indicates that a port on a real server has gone down.

•

Switch Standby – Indicates that an SLB switch fail-over has occurred, and the active switch is
down.

•

Switch Active – Indicates that the standby switch is active.

All traps are enabled by default.

NOTE

You can disable SNMP access to the device if needed.

NOTE

IronView Network Manager (INM) supports SNMP V1/V2c/V3 on UNIX and Windows. Refer to the
IronView Network Manager User guide.
