Table 30.1 StoreFabric C-Series Switch Configuration Steps
Configure SNMP
Configure C-Series (formerly Cisco) SNMP by performing the following steps:
1. Log on to the CLI interface with Telnet, or use Fabric Manager.
2.
Use the CLI commands config t and snmp-server host <IP> traps version 1 public udp-
port 162 commands to add the Hosting Device IP address as a trap destination.
3. Choose to have all events returned as traps.
4.
If you choose a non-standard trap community name (i.e. a name other than public), make sure this
name is used in the Insight RS Console credentials settings.
5. Type the IP address of Hosting Device into one of the trap destination settings. This configuration can
also be done with the C-Series Device Manager.
6. Discover the device in the Insight RS Console.
7. In the Insight RS Console, navigate to Devices and click the Device Name. Verify that the device
information was discovered correctly.
Create an SNMP Protocol Credential in Insight RS
If your device's SNMP community string is set to public and your community access mode is read
only, Insight RS automatically associates an SNMPv1 protocol with your device. If you use a different
community string or use a nonstandard port, you must create an SNMPv1 protocol credential in the Insight
RS Console.
