The SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed. Table 14 describes the SNMP configuration parameters. The illegal characters for the user-defined fields are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,). Table 14. SNMP configuration parameters Parameter Contact Read Community SNMP Proxy Location Authentication Trap Write Community Description Specifies the name (up to 64 characters) of the person who is to be contacted to respond to trap events. The default is “undefined”. Read community password (up to 32 characters) that authorizes an SNMP agent to read information from the switch. This field is write only. The value on the switch and the SNMP management server must be the same. The default is “public”. If enabled, you can use SNMP to monitor and configure any switch in the fabric. Specifies the name (up to 64 characters) for the switch location. The default is “undefined”. Enables or disables the reporting of SNMP authentication failures. If enabled, a notification trap is sent when incorrect community string values are used. The default value is "False". Write community password (up to 32 characters) that authorizes an SNMP client to write information to the switch. This field is write only. The value on the switch and the SNMP management server must be the same. The default is “private”. 66 IBM Flex System FC3171 8 Gb SAN Switch QuickTools User’s Guide
SNMP trap configuration The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs Trap1–Trap 5 to configure each trap. Table 15 describes the SNMP configuration parameters. Table 15. SNMP trap configuration parameters Parameter Trap Version Trap 1 Enabled Trap Address a Trap Community Description Specifies the SNMP version (1, 2, or 3) with which to format traps. Enables or disables the trap. If disabled, traps are not sent to trap monitoring stations and the trap settings are not configurable. Specifies the IP address to which SNMP traps are sent. A maximum of 5 trap addresses are supported. The default address for trap 1 is 10.0.0.254. The default address for traps 2–5 is 0.0.0.0. Trap community password (up to 32 characters) that authorizes an SNMP agent to receive traps. This field is write only. The value on the switch and the SNMP management server must be the same. The default is “public”. Trap Port 1 The port number on which the trap is sent. The default is 162. Trap Severity Trap User Users Specifies a severity level to assign to the trap. Open the drop-down list and choose a level. The Trap 1 Enabled option on the SNMP Properties dialog must be enabled to access this drop-down list. Trap severity levels include Unknown, Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notify, Info, Debug, and Mark. The Trap User field becomes active when the V3 option is selected. Click the Users button to modify the contents of the Trap User drop-down list. The Users button becomes active when the V3 option selected in the Trap Version drop-down list. Click the Users button to open the SNMPv3 dialog from which to add/remove users from the list. Changes made to the user list will be updated in the user drop-down in the SNMP Properties dialog. a Trap address (other than 0.0.0.0) and trap port combinations must be unique. For example, if trap 1 and trap 2 have the same address, then they must have different port values. Similarly, if trap 1 and 2 have the same port value, they must have different addresses. SNMP v3 security Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) is an interoperable standards-based protocol for network management. SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. SNMP v3 security is an additional layer of security offered with the 9.0 firmware. The SNMP v3 security is available to a switch that has a secure connection, and can be configured only on the entry switch. The security features provided in SNMPv3 are: • Message integrity—ensuring that a packet has not been tampered with during transit. • Authentication—determining the message is from a valid source. • Encryption—scrambling the contents of a packet to prevent it from being seen by an unauthorized source.
