Fabric OS procedures user guide
It is useful to enable local authentication so that the switch can take over authentication locally
if the RADIUS servers fail to respond because of power outage or network problems. To
enable or disable local authentication, issue the following command:
Specifying on enables local authentication; specifying off disables it.
When local authentication is enabled and RADIUS servers fail to respond, you can log in to
the default switch accounts (admin and user) or any user-defined account. You must know the
passwords of these accounts.
RADIUS authentication must be enabled when local database authentication is turned off;
otherwise, an error is returned. The local database cannot be turned off unless RADIUS has
already been configured.
Because local database authentication might be automatically disabled or enabled when
enabling or disabling RADIUS authentication, set the local database authentication explicitly
to enabled or disabled after setting the desired RADIUS authentication configuration.
When the command succeeds, it triggers an event log, indicating that local database
authentication is disabled or enabled.
Configuring for SNMP
You can configure SNMP agents. Fabric OS v3.2.x supports SNMPv1.
The configuration process involves configuring the SNMP agents, MIBs, and traps. The
following commands are used in the process:
For details about configuring MIBs, see
If you use both SW-MIB and FA-MIB, you might receive duplicate information. You can
disable the FA-MIB, but the SW-MIB cannot be disabled.
If you enable the SW-EXTTRAP option, the Software Serial Number (swSsn) is included as a
part of HP SW traps. It is also used in conjunction with the legacy StorgeWorks SAN Switch
Integrated/64 to provide detailed group information for a particular trap.
For information on the specific commands used in these procedures, refer to online help or to
the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide.
