HP StorageWorks 2.64 Director Switch - Manual (Page 112)

Configuring the director 112
To configure the SNMP agent:
1. At the Hardware view page, click Configure > SNMP Agent. The Configure SNMP dialog box
displays, as shown in Figure 42 on page 112.
a. For each trap recipient to be configured, type a community name of 32 or fewer
alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field. The community name is
incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure against unauthorized viewing or use.
b. Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or disable write
authorization for the trap recipient (default is disabled). A check mark in the box indicates
write authorization is enabled. When the feature is enabled, a management workstation
user can change the HAFM appliance’s sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation SNMP
variables.
c. Select the Fibre Alliance MIB version supported on the director by clicking the drop-down list
in the top right corner of the dialog box. Selections are 3.0 and 3.1.
d. Type the IP address or DNS host name of the trap recipient (SNMP management
workstation) in the associated Trap Recipient field. Use 64 or fewer alphanumeric
characters. Hewlett-Packard recommends using the IP address.

sent to SNMP management stations when unauthorized stations try to access SNMP information
from the director.
