SNMP trap configuration

The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs Trap1 – Trap 5 to configure each trap. Table 16 describes the SNMP configuration parameters.

Trap Address1Specifies 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 Port1The port number on which the trap is sent. The default is 162.

Archiving a switch

Archiving a switch saves the current switch configuration parameters to an .XML archive file containing the configuration parameters. Basically any data received by the application is archived. However, passwords are not archived with the user account information. The switch can later be restored using the saved switch configuration file. Archived parameters include switch properties and statistics, IP configuration, SNMP configuration, port properties and statistics, alarm configuration, and zoning configuration. Archived parameters include the following:

•Switch properties and statistics•IP configuration•SNMP configuration•Port properties and statistics•Alarm configuration•Zoning configuration•Configured security•RADIUS Server information

This archive file can be used to restore the configuration on the same switch or on a replacement switch. You can also use the archive file as a template for configuring new switches to add to a fabric. The archive can be used later to restore the switch. Refer to ”Restoring a switch” on page 86 for more information.

To archive a switch, perform the following procedure:1.Select Switch > Archive in the faceplate display.2.Enter a file name in the Save dialog.3.Click Save.
