Restart the service for the management server for your changes to take effect.
While AppStorManager is restarting, users are not able to access the management server. The

AppStorManager service must be running for the management server to monitor elements.

Step 4 - Set Up the Proxy to Send Traps to the Correct Port

IMPORTANT:

The management server uses the Windows SNMP trap service when Discovery from

HP SIM is used.

When you are using the SNMP setting to discover a proxy, you must configure the SNMP agent on

the proxy manager to send traps to the management server using the port you selected. This

configuration sends traps from all switches managed by that proxy. Refer to your documentation for

your proxy for more information.

The management server uses SNMP to discover a McDATA or Connectrix switch by its IP address or

DNS name. SNMP is the default setting. If you have changed the setting for discovering switches to

SWAPI, you must change it back to SNMP before you begin the following steps. See
