Make sure that the SNMP security level is set to the appropriate level for the switch.

- To check the SNMP security level, use the snmpconfig --show secLevel command.

Example of checking SNMP security level

snmpconfig --show

GET security level = 0, SET

level = 0

-To set the SNMP security level, use the snmpconfig --set secLevel command.

Example of checking SNMP security level

snmpconfig --set secLevel 0 Select SNMP GET Security Level

(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 = No Access): (0..3) [0]

To collect performance data for GE ports and FCIP statistics, make sure that SNMP v3 credentials match and that FCIP-MIB capability is enabled.

- To check FCIP-MIB capability, use the snmpconfig --show mibcapability command.

Example of showing FCIP-MIB

FCRRouter:admin> snmpconfig --show mibcapability

FCIP-MIB: YES

-To enable FCIP-MIB capability, use the snmpconfig --set mibcapability command.

Example of enabling FCIP-MIB

FCRRouter:admin> snmpconfig --set mibcapability

FA-MIB (yes, y, no, n): [yes]

FICON-MIB (yes, y, no, n): [yes]

HA-MIB (yes, y, no, n): [yes]

FCIP-MIB (yes, y, no, n): [yes]

ISCSI-MIB (yes, y, no, n): [yes]

To collect performance data on a Virtual Fabric-enabled device, use the userconfig --showcommand to make sure the Fabric OS user has access to all the Virtual Fabrics. Make sure that the SNMPv3 user name is the same as the Fabric OS user name. Otherwise, the data is not collected for virtual switches with a non-default Virtual Fabric ID. By default, the admin user has access to all Virtual Fabrics.

Example of Fabric OS user verification

sw1:FID128:admin> userconfig --show Account name: admin Description: Administrator Enabled: Yes

Password Last Change Date: Unknown

Password Expiration Date: Not Applicable

Locked: No

Home LF Role: admin

Role-LF List: admin: 1-128

Chassis Role: admin

Home LF: 128

-Make sure I/O is running on the switch to obtain real statistics. To view switch statistics, use the portperfshow (FC Ports) or portshow fciptunnel (FCIP tunnels) command.
