Table 31.1 StoreFabric H-Series Switch Configuration Steps

Configure SNMP

Log on to the switch with Telnet and issue the following CLI commands to configure the HP SN6000,

8/20q and 2/8q FC switches to send SNMP traps to the Hosting Device.

1. Open the Admin session:

admin start

2. Configure the SNMP trap destinations:

set setup snmp

After configuration, type y to save and active the SNMP setup.

4. Close the Admin session:

admin end

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.

To configure SNMPv1 in the Insight RS Console, complete the following steps:

1. In a web browser, log on to the Insight RS Console.

2. In the main menu, select Discovery and click the Credentials tab.
