McDATA® 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem command line interface guide 93
11 Simple Network Management Protocol configuration
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides for the management of the switch through
third-party applications that use SNMP. Security consists of a read community string and a write
community string which serve as passwords that control read and write access to the switch. These strings
are set at the factory to well-known defaults and should be changed if SNMP is to be enabled.
This section describes the following tasks:
• Managing the SNMP service, page 93
• Displaying SNMP information, page 94
• Modifying the SNMP configuration, page 95
• Resetting the SNMP configuration, page 96
Managing the SNMP service
You control the SNMP service and SNMPEnabled parameters through the Set Setup Snmp and
Set Setup Services commands. Refer to ”Modifying the SNMP configuration” on page 95 for more
information.
Enter the Set Setup Services command within an Admin session to enable SNMP as shown in the
following example:
McDATA4GbSAN (admin) #> set setup services
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list
press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.
*Warning: If services are disabled, the connection to the switch may be lost.
