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.
• Define SNMP community names that SNMP managers use for reading variables.
• Authorize write permissions for writable MIB variables.
