• Event Manager does not display events from Brocade switches with the firmware version 3.0.
This firmware version is not supported by Event Manager. You can, however, specify Event
Manager not to display events from additional firmware versions. See ” Filtering Events ” on
page 464.
• Events from Brocade Fabric Watch have “Fabric watch:” in their heading, as shown in the
following example:
Fabric watch: threshold is below low boundary, Value:30 Class: Environment
ClassArea: Temperature Index: 1 EventType: Below EventState: Faulty
Issues with McDATA and Connectrix Switches
• If you discovered McDATA and/or Connectrix switches through SWAPI, Event Manager does
not report events for switch hardware failures, except for those regarding switch ports (port
off-line/port online).
• If you are not receiving events from McDATA and Connectrix switches discovered through
SNMP, make sure you have the correct port set for receiving SNMP traps. You must also
configure the proxy or each switch (depending on your configuration for discovery) to send the
SNMP traps to the correct port on the management server. See ” Discovering McDATA and
EMC Connectrix Switches ” on page 45 for more information.
• If you want the management server to receive SNMP events from Connectrix or McDATA
switches, do one of the following:
• If you discovered Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, only enable SNMP trap
forwarding to the management server on the Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, not on
the individual switches. Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager should be configured to
forward SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server, and the community string
should match the user ID you used to discover Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager.
• If you discovered Connectrix or McDATA switches directly, enable SNMP trap forwarding
on the switches, not on any other management software. The switches should be configured
to forward SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server, and the community
string should match the user ID you used to discover the Connectrix or McDATA switches.
