Special Procedures
Fibre Channel Switch Monitor
The switch monitor also uses the following settings to configure the SNMP environment used by the switch. Note that two of these settings (SW_COUNT and SW_X_IP_ADDRESS) are required to indicate to the monitor what switches should monitored. Changes that involve adding or deleting switches to the configuration file while the monitor is running will be invoked at the next polling interval, or following the selection of the (E)nable Monitoring option from the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager (monconfig).
