Prerequisites for monitoring Brocade Switches / Directors
- Ensure SNMP agent is running in the Brocade silkworm switch / director
- By default OpManager uses snmp port 161 and read community public for discovery.
- If the settings are different , please provide the same details while adding the switch in OpManager
- Make sure the IP of the server running OpManager is included in the SNMP access list of the Brocade Switch
- The following command can be used to know the snmp community & access list configurations in brocade silkworm switches.
- In older versions of Fabric OS, run the command agtcfgdefault via CLI console of the switch
- In newer versions of Fabric OS, run the command snmpConfig --set accessControl to add OpManager Server IP Address to the Access Control List. Use the command snmpConfig --show accessControl to verify whether you have successfully added OpManager Server IP Address to the access control list.
- Register OpManager server IP address as a trap destination for the Brocade Silkworm Switch.
- In older versions of Fabric OS , use agtcfgset command in the Brocade Fabric OS command line interface to specify the Trap Recipient.
- In newer versions of Fabric OS, use the command snmpconfig --set snmpv1 to add OpManager Server IP Address to the Trap Recipients list. Use the command snmpconfig --show snmpv1 to verify whether you have successfully added OpManager Server IP Address to the Trap Recipients list.
Note : We strongly recommend you to refer the Brocade Fabric OS Reference Manual before executing the above commands.
