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.
