IP configuration requirements

To be able to use SNMP Monitor for performance monitoring, make sure the following requirements are met:

•Ensure that SNMP is enabled on the devices you want to monitor and that SNMP community strings have been defined for set and get operations.

•Make sure discovery has been run and the devices appear on the Network Object Manager tree. If a device is not on the tree, add the device using Network Object Manager.

•Define what data you want to collect.

•If you need to monitor devices within specific device groups, you must create the device groups.

•You must have the SNMP Monitor privilege in your user account or role.

Management application comes with default MIB files, such as standard MIB and Brocade proprietary MIB files.
