Configuring an SNMP agent
Use the procedures in this section to:
• Configure the SNMP agent that runs on the switch and implements the following MIBs:
• MIB-II
• Fabric Element MIB
• Fibre Alliance (FCMGMT) MIB
• Switch private MIB
NOTE: For complete information on objects defined in MIBs, and steps to download MIB
variables to your SNMP workstation, refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for
Directors and Edge Switches.
• Configure network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP trap recipients.
An SNMP trap recipient is a network management station that receives messages through
SNMP for specific events that occur on the switch.
To enable or disable authorization trap messages to be sent when unauthorized management
stations try to access SNMP information through the HAFM appliance, click the Enable
Authorization Traps check box. A check mark in the box enables this option.
• Define SNMP community names that SNMP managers use for reading variables.
• Authorize write permissions for writable MIB variables.
NOTE: SNMP managers may request, but will not receive, traps and SNMP data through SNMP
management stations that are not configured with community names.
