Configuring SNMP

You can configure for the automatic transmission of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
information to management stations. SNMPv3 and SNMPv1 are supported.
The configuration process involves configuring the SNMP agent and configuring SNMP traps. The
following commands are used in the process:
• Use the configure command to set the security level. You can specify no security, authentication only,
or authentication and privacy.
• Use the snmpConfig command to configure the SNMP agent and traps for SNMPv3 or
SNMPv1 configurations.
• If necessary for backward compatibility, you can use these legacy commands to configure for SNMP
v1:
• Use the agtCfgShow, agtCfgset, and agtCfgDefault commands to configure the SNMPv1
agent.
• Use the snmpMibCapSet command to filter at the trap level and the snmpMibCapShow command
to display the trap filter values.
The SNMP trap configuration specifies the MIB trap elements to be used to send information to the SNMP
management station. There are two main MIB trap choices:
• Brocade-specific MIB trap
Associated with the -specific Brocade MIB (SW-MIB), this MIB monitors Brocade switches specifically.
• FibreAlliance MIB trap
Associated with the FibreAlliance MIB (FA-MIB), this MIB manages SAN switches and devices from any
company that complies with FibreAlliance specifications.
If you use both SW-MIB and FA-MIB, you might receive duplicate information. You can disable the FA-MIB,
but not the SW-MIB.
