decryption. Both authentication and privacy, and their passwords, are optional and will use
default settings where security is less of a concern.
With users validated, the VACM determines which managed objects these users are allowed
to access. The VACM includes an access scheme to control user access to managed objects;
context matching to define which objects can be accessed; and MIB views, defined by subsets
of IOD subtree and associated bitmask entries, which define what a particular user can access
in the MIB.
Steps for setting up SNMP include:
Agent configuration (all SNMP versions)
Trapsink configuration (all SNMP versions)
Associating event notifications with trapsinks (all SNMP versions)
View definition (V3 only)
Group and user configuration (V3 only)
The StoreAll software implements an SNMP agent that supports the private StoreAll software MIB.
The agent can be polled and can send SNMP traps to configured trapsinks.
Configuring SNMP notifications is similar to configuring email notifications. You must associate
events to trapsinks and configure SNMP settings for each trapsink to enable the agent to send a
trap when an event occurs.
NOTE:
When Phone Home is enabled, you cannot edit or change the configuration of the StoreAll
SNMP agent with the ibrix_snmpagent command. However, you can add trapsink IPs with
ibrix_snmptrap and can associate events to the trapsink IP with ibrix_event.
Configuring the SNMP agent
The SNMP agent is created automatically when the Fusion Manager is installed. It is initially
configured as an SNMPv2 agent and is off by default.
For all SNMP versions, the SNMP agent name is pre-determined (displays in the System Description
box) and the default port is 161.
NOTE:
The default SNMP agent port was changed from 5061 to 161 in the StoreAll 6.1 release.
This port number cannot be changed.
To change other properties of the SNMP agent:
1.
Select Cluster Configuration in the upper Navigator and select SNMP in the lower Navigator.
The SNMP Agent Setup window appears.
2.
Click Modify. The Modify SNMP Agent dialog box appears.
3.
Update or enter the following details:
SNMP Version: Supported versions are 1, 2, and 3. The default is 2.
State: Indicates whether the SNMP Agent is turned on or off. By default, it is off.
Encrypt Passwords and Communities: Indicates whether passwords and communities are
encrypted when sent. Values are Yes and No; the default setting is No.
System Contact: Enter a contact name for the system (optional).
System Name: Enter a system name (optional).
System Location: Enter the location of the system (optional).
Read Community: Define read access privileges. The default is public, which grants read
privileges to all users.
Write Community: Define write access privileges. The default is to leave this box blank,
which means no user has write privileges.
