To set the switch SNMP properties:
1. To access the SNMP Properties, choose one of the following options:
• On the Adapter & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch SNMP Properties. (If you have more
than one switch in your SAN, the Switch Selection dialog box prompts you to select a switch, and
then click OK.)
• In the content pane’s Physical Connection map, right-click a specific switch icon, and then on the
shortcut menu, click Set Switch SNMP Properties.
The SNMP Properties dialog box ( Figure 36 ) opens.
Figure 36 SNMP Properties
NOTE: Because Read Community, Write Community, and Trap Community settings are like
passwords, they are write-only fields and the current settings are not shown.
Illegal characters are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
2. In the top section, SNMP Configuration, define how authentication traps are managed by completing
the following settings.
SNMP Enabled Select this check box to allow SNMP communication with other switches in the
fabric. Clear this check box to prevent an SNMP application at a workstation to
talk to this switch.
Contact Enter the name (maximum 64 characters) of the contact person who responds to
trap events. The default is sysContact undefined.
Read Community Enter the Read Community password (maximum 32 characters) that authorizes
an SNMP agent to read information from the switch. This is a write-only field.
The value on the switch and the SNMP management server must be the same.
The default is public.
Write Community Enter the Write Community password (maximum 32 characters) that authorizes
an SNMP agent to write information to the switch. This is a write-only field. This
value on the switch and the SNMP management server must be the same. The
default is private.
