Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Specifying an IPv6 host as an Snmp trap receiver

6 SNMP version 3 traps

Backward compatibility with SMIv1 trap format

The Brocade device will continue to support creation of traps in SMIv1 format, as before. To allow the device to send notifications in SMIv2 format, configure the device as described above. The default mode is still the original SMIv1 format.

Specifying an IPv6 host as an SNMP trap receiver

You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the device will go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the network. To do so, enter a command such as the following.

Brocade(config)#snmp-server host ipv6 2001:DB8:89::13

Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>

The <ipv6-address>must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.

SNMP v3 over IPv6

Some Brocade ICX 6650 devices support IPv6 for SNMP version 3.

Restricting SNMP Access to an IPv6 Node

You can restrict SNMP access so that the Brocade device can only be accessed by the IPv6 host address that you specify. To do so, enter a command such as the following .

Brocade(config)#snmp-client ipv6 2001:DB8:89::23

Syntax: snmp-client ipv6 <ipv6-address>

The <ipv6-address>must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.

Specifying an IPv6 host as an SNMP trap receiver

You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the Brocade device will go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the network. To do so, enter the snmp-server host ipv6 command .

Brocade(config)#snmp-server host ipv6 2001:DB8:89::13

Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>
