## 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.
