SNMP subagent.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard method of monitoring
and managing network devices. SNMP is supported by CNAs and by Fabric Adapter ports
configured in CNA or NIC mode. SNMP support is provided through an extension to the SNMP
master agent, called the subagent, which processes SNMP queries for Brocade adapters. The
subagent is only supported on Linux and Windows systems. For more information on SNMP
support, refer to "Simple Network Management Protocol"
SNMP subagent files are copied to your host system when you install adapter software through
HCM and the Brocade Adapter Software Installer (BASI). You can elect to install the subagent
using Brocade Windows or Linux installation scripts. Refer to
page 109.
