Configuring an SNMP agent
Use the procedures in this section to:
• Configure the SNMP agent that runs on the director and implements the following MIBs:
• MIB-II
• Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB
• Director private MIB
• Fibre Alliance 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 director.
• 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.
