Simple Network Management Protocol; Storage Management Initiative-Specification (Smi-S); File Transfer Protocols - HP StorageWorks SN6000 Installation And Reference Manual

Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch firmware supports SNMP versions
1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element
Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.
SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices through a combination of authentication and
encryption. You can enable SNMP, configure SNMP traps, and configure SNMP version 3 security using
the command line interface or QuickTools.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the SMI-S. For
more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch CIM Agent
Reference Guide.

File transfer protocols

FTP and TFTP provide the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch and the
workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files. For more information
about FTP and TFTP, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface
Guide.
