Testing the Configuration
Since Brocade Fabric-OS v6.3.x was released, Brocade FC switches can emit test traps to ensure that
the complete end-to-end event flow can be verified. The user must log into the switch CLI admin interface
and issue the following command:
Send SNMP traps to test the configuration:
1. Telnet or SSH to the brocade switch.
2. Show the available traps you can send as tests:
snmptraps --show
3. Send a blanket test trap for all tests:
snmptraps --send
4. Or send a specific test trap:
snmptraps --send --trap_name <trapname>
For example:
snmptraps --send -trap_name cp-status-change-trap -ip_address <hosting_
device_ip>
where <hosting_device_ip> is the IP address of the Hosting Device. If the switch reports that
the test trap cannot be sent, make sure snmpmibcaps is configured to send HA traps. If it is
configured correctly, this command should create a test event visible in the Insight Remote Support
Advanced and also submit an incident to HP.
Note: Not all traps result in an incident being delivered to the Insight Remote Support Advanced. Not
all traps are sent and not all are received. Some get received as ‘unregistered event’ if you have that
option selected as a receive option in Events. The events that show up as ‘unregistered’ are not
compiled in the SIM Mibs. FA-MIB’s generate a valid hardware event.
See the B-Series Switch documentation for more details.
