Use the licenseIdShow command to display the WWN of the chassis. If you cannot use the
licenseIdShow command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the WWN from the
same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For the Brocade DCX, access the
numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo plate at the top of the nonport side
of the chassis.

Setting the SNMP security level

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard method of monitoring
and managing network devices. This protocol promotes interoperability because SNMP-capable
systems must adhere to a common set of framework and language rules.

Understanding the components of SNMP makes it possible to use third-party tools to view, browse,
and manipulate Brocade switch variables (MIBs) remotely as well as to set up an enterprise-level
management process. Every Brocade switch and director supports SNMP.

Recipients for SNMP traps are restricted according to security levels. Security levels are selected
and set for a switch using the snmpconfig --set seclevel command. To select and set SNMP security
levels, issue the command snmpconfig --set seclevel after having logged in to the switch as admin.

The following example sets the SNMP security level to 1 (authentication only). This setting allows all
SNMPv1 users to perform GET and SET operations on MIBs, but creates an exception for SNMPv3
users that do not have authentication and privacy privileges (noAuthnoPriv).

switch:admin> snmpconfig --set seclevel
Select SNMP Security Level
(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 =
sxNo Access): (0..3) [0]
Select SNMP SET Security Level
(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 =
No Access): (0..3) [0]

Understanding SNMP basics

Every Brocade switch carries an agent and management information base (MIB), as shown in

Figure 1. The agent accesses information about a device and makes it available to an SNMP

network management station.

Sent only for authPriv users.

When active, the management station can get information or set information when it queries an
agent. SNMP commands, such as get, set, getnext, and getresponse, are sent from the
management station, and the agent replies once the value is obtained or modified (Figure 2).
Agents use variables to report such data as the number of bytes and packets in and out of the
device, or the number of broadcast messages sent and received. These variables are also known
as managed objects. All managed objects are contained in the MIB.

FIGURE 2 SNMP query

The management station can also receive traps, unsolicited messages from the switch agent if an
unusual event occurs (Figure 3). For more information, refer to “Understanding SNMP traps” on
page 4.

The agent can receive queries from one or more management stations and can send traps to up to
six management stations.

Understanding MIBs

The management information base (MIB) is a database of monitored and managed information on
a device, in this case a Brocade switch. The MIB structure can be represented by a tree hierarchy.
The root splits into three main branches: International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT), and joint ISO/CCITT.
These branches have short text strings and integers (OIDs) to identify them. Text strings describe
object names, while integers allow software to create compact, encoded representations of the
names.

Each MIB variable is assigned an object identifier (OID). The OID is the sequence of numeric labels
on the nodes along a path from the root to the object. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the
Brocade SW.MIB OID is:

1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1

The corresponding name is:

iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.bsci.commDev.fibreChannel.fcSwitch.sw

The other branches are part of the standard MIBs, and the portions relevant to configuring SNMP
on a Brocade switch are referenced in the remainder of this reference.

Use a MIB browser to access the MIB variables: all MIB browsers perform queries and load MIBs.

Since different vendors vary the information in their private enterprise MIBs, it is necessary to verify
their information. The Fibre Channel MIB standards dictate that certain information be included in
all MIBs: it is the vendors’ responsibility to follow the standards. The standards are as follows:

• FibreAlliance (FA) MIB: Brocade supports v4.4. and later releases.

• Fabric Element (FE) MIB: accepted by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Once loaded, the MAX-ACCESS provides access levels between the agent and management station.
The access levels are as follows:

• not accessible

• read create

• read only - Public

Brocade supports FE_RCF2837.mib under the MIB-II branch in Fabric OS v7.0.0, v6.4.1_fcoe,
v6.4.0, v6.3.0, v6.2.0, v6.1.2_CEE, v6.1.0, and v6.0.0. The latest version of the FE MIB
references the FRAMEWORK.MIB and, based on the MIB browser, it is necessary to load this
MIB before the FE.MIB. For more information, refer to “Loading Brocade MIBs” on page 7.

You cannot read or write to this variable.

Specifies a tabular object that can be read, modified, or created as a new row in a table.

You can only monitor information.

• read-write - Private

You can read or modify this variable.

• accessible-to-notify

You can read this information only through traps.

Understanding SNMP traps

An unsolicited message that comes to the management station from the SNMP agent on the
device is called a trap. Brocade switches send traps out on UDP port 162 and to any configured
port. In order to receive traps, the management station IP address and severity level must be
configured on the switch. Up to six trap recipients can be configured using Web Tools or the
snmpConfig command. You can define a different message severity level for each recipient so that
some recipients receive all trap messages and others receive only the most critical.

There are two main MIB trap choices:

• FibreAlliance MIB trap - Associated with the Fibre Alliance MIB (FA-MIB), this MIB manages SAN

switches and devices from any company that complies with Fibre Alliance specifications.

• Brocade-specific MIB trap - Associated with the Brocade-specific Brocade MIB (SW-MIB),

manages Brocade switches only.

There is some overlap in the functionality of these MIBs. If you enable both SW-MIB and FA-MIB
traps, you could receive duplicate messages for the switch events that trigger the trap.

You can also use these additional MIBs and their associated traps: HA-MIB; FICON-MIB; and
SWEXTTRAP. In Fabric OS v6.4.0, you can use the snmpConfig command to enable or disable all
the MIBs.

An event trap (swEventTrap, connUnitEventTrap, or swFabricWatchTrap) is basically an error
message (errShow output) that is SNMP-formatted and delivered.

FA traps

Consider enabling the FA traps if you want to use SNMP to monitor multiple connectivity units,
including Brocade switches.

The switchStatusPolicySet command determines the FA-TRAP switch status-related outputs:

• connUnitStatusChange

This trap is generated by Fabric watch such that only the swUnitsStatusChange is controlled by
switchStatusPolicySet command.

• connUnitSensorStatusChange

This trap is generated by any sensor event.

• connUnitPortStatusChange

This trap sends the instance of connUnitPortName as part of the trap; the instance string is
NULL, if the port name is not defined for the specified port.

• connUnitEventTrap

All the external traps gets converted into swEventTrap except for AN-1006, AUTH-3001 to
AUTH-3008, FW-3001, SEC-3001 to SEC-3034, and SEC-3044 to SEC-3048 RASlog messages.

Events in the Error Log of a severity at or above the configured threshold will generate SNMP traps.

The Fibre Alliance Trap (FA-TRAP) can be configured to send traps using the snmpConfig command.
For more information on this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

HA traps

Consider enabling these traps to monitor field-replaceable unit (FRU) status and control processor
(CP) status when you have a Brocade director in your environment:

• fruStatusChanged

This trap is generated by a FRU status change, such as a switch reboot or disabling or enabling
a FRU component such as fandisable, fanenable and so on.

• cpStatusChanged

This trap is generated by a change in the status of a CP, including a reboot or firmware
download.

• fruHistoryTrap

This trap is generated when a FRU is added or removed. It is not generated when standby CP is
removed.

The high availability trap (HA-TRAP) can be configured to send traps using the snmpConfig
command. For more information on this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

SW traps

There are fourteen specific traps defined in Brocade SW-TRAP.

1. swfault (no longer supported)

2. swSensorScn (no longer supported)

3. swFCPortScn

4. swEventTrap

5. swFabricWatchTrap

6. swTrackChangesTrap

7. swIPv6ChangeTrap

8. swPmgrEventTrap

This trap is generated by a port state change.

This trap is generated by any switch event reported to the system error log.
The desired severity level is introduced to filter a swEvent trap based on the severity level.

This trap is generated when any Fabric Watch threshold is reached.
The desired severity level is introduced to filter a swFabricWatchTrap based on the severity
level.

This trap is generated by a login or a logout.

This trap is generated when an IPv6 address status change event occurs. It is generated only
when IPv6 stateless state changes to the deprecation state and not for address change
notification.

This trap is generated when any partition manager change happens.

9. swFabricReconfigTrap

The trap to be sent for tracking fabric reconfiguration.

10. swFabricSegmentTrap

The trap to be sent for tracking segmentation.

11. swExtTrap

The trap adds the SSN binding to the traps if it is enabled.

12. swStateChangeTrap

This trap is sent when the switch changes its state to online or offline.

13. swPortMoveTrap

This trap is sent when the virtual ports are moved from one switch to another.

14. swBrcdGenericTrap

This trap is sent for one of the events, such as fabric change, device change, FAPWWN change,
and FDMI events. This trap is for Brocade use.

The Brocade trap (SW-TRAP) can be configured to send traps using the snmpConfig command. For
more information on this command, refer to Table 5 or the Fabric OS Command Reference.

53-1002151-01

Object instances

MIB objects are defined by the OID, which is the type of object, and by the instance number, which
is an instance of that MIB object. A Fibre Channel port is a MIB object, and port 0 is an instance of
that object. The following is an OID number and an instance number:

1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11.5

where:

1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11 is the OID (of swFCPortTxWords) and 5 is the instance

ID for port 4.

You must add 1 to the port number to get its instance number in SNMP because SNMP numbering
starts at 1; switch port numbering starts at 0.

Loading Brocade MIBs

The Brocade MIB is a set of variables that are private extensions to the Internet standard MIB-II.
The Brocade agents support many other Internet-standard MIBs. These standard MIBs are defined
in RFC publications. To find specific MIB information, examine the Brocade proprietary MIB
structure and the standard RFC MIBs supported by Brocade.
