As an option, network administrators can use the SAN management
application to configure an SNMP agent that runs on the
management server. This agent is used to:
• Configure up to 12 authorized management workstations to
receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages (directors and fabric
switches).
• Configure up to eight authorized management workstations to
send SNMP trap messages (SAN routers).
Administrators can also use the Element Manager application to
configure an SNMP agent that runs on each director, fabric switch, or
SAN router. This agent can be configured to send generic SNMP trap
messages. Trap recipients can also access SNMP management
information and may be granted permission to modify SNMP
variables as follows:
• Assign and record product names, contact persons, descriptions,
and locations to configure the products for SNMP management
station access.
• Plan access to the managed product LAN segment. This segment
must connect to the LAN on which SNMP management
workstations are installed.
