SAN Switch 2/8 - Release Notes

SNMP-based Management

18 SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.1.x Release Notes

SNMP-based Management

Many SNMP Fibre Channel Management programs have the capability to log

SNMP trap information (error and status events) occurring on the switch into the

Windows NT application Event log. To enable this capability, parameters must be

set on the switch.

Note: These parameters can be set either through Web Tools by selecting the admin.

button and clicking on the SNMP Admin tab, or by using the Telnet interface along with

the agtcfgSet Telnet command.

The switch will send one copy of a trap message to each IP address that is listed in

the communities. If you enter the same IP address into more than one of the

communities, you will get multiple copies of the same trap message.

■ swEventTrapLevel: (0..5)—must be set for a severity level from 0 to 5

— 0 – none

— 1 – critical

— 2 – error

—3 – warning

— 4 – informational

—5 – debug

■ authTrapsEnabled: (true, t, false, f)—must be set to true or t to enable

sending of traps

Note: This parameter is set to

true

by default.
