Community String
• SNMP V1 needs to be enabled to collect data from a CISCO switch.
• If the community string is defined from any CISCO Device/Fabric
Manager, then its implicitly for SNMP V3.
•
The community string MUST be defined from the command line.
Storage Manager can monitor any switch (or device) that supports the Fibre
Alliance MIB. Some switches (for example, McDATA) use an alternate MIB,
called the Fibre Channel Management MIB, that provides the same information.
For those switches using this MIB, you must check the McDATA box when
creating the device. If you are unsure, create the device without checking the box
first. If you do not see data after 15-30 minutes, try checking the box and see if
data begins to be collected.
Note: To set up Brocade switches, one has to execute the following
commands to change the SNMP configuration:
• To enable FA MIB:
snmpConfig --set snmpv1
• For access control:
snmpConfig --set accessControl
• To check:
snmpconfig: snmpConfig --show
To configure a McData Fibre Channel Switch Device:
1. On the new device page enter the appropriate values.
• Select Agent: Select the agent you want to monitor the Fibre Channel
• Switch IP Address: Type the IP address of the switch
• Device Display Name: Type a descriptive name for the Fibre Channel
(ex: FC NY1)
• Active: Do not clear this check box, doing so will stop information
collection from the Fibre Channel
