Configuring SNMP

1

The following enterprise trap generated by a Brocade Virtual ADX has been enhanced to display the
port name and the port number in the trap message. Previously, this message displayed port
number only:

snTrapLockedAddressViolation2(32)
This trap is generated when the number of source MAC addresses received from a port is
greater than the maximum number of MAC addresses configured for that port. It displays the
following trap message.

Locked address violation at port-name port-num, address mac

In addition, the following standard traps now display the port name and port number in the trap
message when generated by the Brocade Virtual ADX. Previously, these messages displayed port
number only:

linkDown(2)
This trap is generated when a port state changes to DOWN. It displays the following trap
message.

Interface port-name port-num, state down

linkUp(3)
This trap is generated when a port state changes to UP. It displays the following trap message.

Interface port-name port-num, state up

NOTE

The trap receiver you are using determines whether or not port name and port number is displayed.
If you are using IronView as the trap receiver, port name and port number are displayed. Contact
Brocade for more information.

Restricting SNMP management access

You can restrict SNMP management access to the Brocade Virtual ADX to the host whose IP
address you specify. No other device except the one with the specified IP address can access the
Brocade Virtual ADX through IronView or any other SNMP application.

If you want to restrict access from Telnet or the Web, use one or two of the following commands:

telnet client – restricts Telnet access.

web client – restricts Web access.

If you want to restrict all management access, you can use the commands above and the
snmp-client command or you can use the all-client command.

To restrict SNMP access (which includes IronView) to the Brocade Virtual ADX to the host with IP
address 10.157.22.26, enter the following command.

Virtual ADX(config)#snmp-client 10.157.22.26

Syntax: [no] snmp-client ip-addr

You can use the snmp- client, telnet client, or web client command up to ten times for up to 64 IP
addresses.
