Snmp configuration, Snmp trap configuration | HP SAN specification

SNMP configuration

The SNMP configuration defines how authentication traps are managed. Table 14 describes the SNMP configuration parameters. The illegal characters for the user-defined fields are the pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).

Table 14 SNMP configuration parameters

Parameter	Description

SNMP Enabled	Enables or disables SNMP communication with other switches in the fabric. If
	disabled, the user cannot use an SNMP application at a workstation to talk to the
	switch that has this setting disabled.

Contact	Specifies the name (up to 64 characters) of the person who is to be contacted to
	respond to trap events. The default is “undefined”.

Read Community	Read community password (up to 32 characters) that authorizes an SNMP agent
	to read information from the switch. This is a write-only field. The value on the
	switch and the SNMP management server must be the same. The default is
	“public”.

Trap Community	Trap community password (up to 32 characters) that authorizes an SNMP agent to
	receive traps. This is a write-only field. The value on the switch and the SNMP
	management server must be the same. The default is “public”.

SNMP Proxy	Not applicable.

Location	Specifies the name (up to 64 characters) for the switch location. The default is
	“undefined”.

Authentication Trap	Enables or disables the reporting of SNMP authentication failures. If enabled, a
	notification trap is sent when incorrect community string values are used. The
	default value is False.

Write Community	Write community password (up to 32 characters) that authorizes an SNMP client to
	write information to the switch. This is a write-only field. The value on the switch
	and the SNMP management server must be the same. The default is “private”.

SNMP trap configuration

The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs Trap1 – Trap 5 to configure each trap. Table 15 describes the SNMP configuration parameters.

Table 15 SNMP trap configuration parameters

Parameter	Description

Trap Version	Specifies the SNMP version (1 or 2) with which to format traps.

Trap 1 Enabled	Enables or disables the trap. If disabled, traps are not sent to trap monitoring stations
	and the trap settings are not configurable.

Trap Address1	Specifies 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 Port1	The port number on which the trap is sent. The default is 162.
Trap Severity	Specifies a severity level to assign to the trap. Open the drop-down list and choose a
	level. The Trap 1 Enabled option on the SNMP Properties dialog must be enabled to
	access this drop-down list. Trap severity levels include Unknown, Emergency, Alert,
	Critical, Error, Warning, Notify, Info, Debug, and Mark

1.Trap address (other than 0.0.0.0) and trap port combinations must be unique. For example, if trap 1 and trap 2 have the same address, then they must have different port values. Similarly, if trap 1 and 2 have the same port value, they must have different addresses.
