By default, the Management application receives SNMP v1 and v2c traps from Brocade IP products
that have any SNMP community strings. You can accept or restrict SNMP v1 and v2c traps by
selecting one of the following check boxes in the Event Reception dialog box:
• Do not accept SNMP v1/v2c traps
Use this option to turn off receiving SNMP v1 and v2c traps. If selected, the Management
application will not receive any SNMP v1 and v2c traps.
• Accept SNMP v1/v2c traps with any community string
Use this option to turn on receiving SNMP v1 and v2c traps with any community string.
• Accept SNMP v1/v2c traps with only these community strings
Use this option to turn on receiving SNMP v1 and v2c traps with only the specified
community strings.
The Management application can receive SNMP v1 traps from Brocade SAN switches and directors
that have any SNMP community strings. It can receive SNMP v3 traps and informs from these SAN
products.
The Table 85 explains the combinations of security and authentication, which will help you when
you make your SNMP credentials configuration decisions.
For information about how to configure SNMP credentials, refer to “Adding an SNMP v3 credential”
