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]
Tab le 2 shows the security level options.

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.

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 2SNMP 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:
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.

FIGURE 4Brocade MIB tree location
Use a MIB browser to access the MIB variables: all MIB browsers perform queries and load MIBs.
Understanding SNMP basics
NOTE
1
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_RFC2837.mib under the MIB-II branch in Fabric OS v7.1.0, 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.
Due to design limitation, IP address validation cannot be done for trap recipients.
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.
4Fabric OS MIB Reference
53-1002750-01
Understanding SNMP basics
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.
1
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
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.
7. swIPv6ChangeTrap
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.
8. swPmgrEventTrap
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.
15. swDeviceStatusTrap
This trap is sent whenever a device logs in or logs out.
6Fabric OS MIB Reference
53-1002750-01
The Brocade trap (SW-TRAP) can be configured to send traps using the snmpConfig command. For
more information on this command, refer to Table 6 or the Fabric OS Command Reference.
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.

Before loading MIBs
Before loading Brocade MIB files, ensure that you have the correct version of SNMP for your Fabric
OS version (Table 3).
1.SNMPv2 is supported in Fabric OS v5.0.4 and later, but SNMPv2 traps are not supported.
2.Fabric OS v5.x supports the SNMPv3-USM MIB (snmpUsmMIB), which is available as RFC 3414.
MIB loading order
Many MIBs use definitions that are defined in other MIBs. These definitions are listed in the
IMPORTS section near the top of the MIB. When loading the Brocade MIBs, refer to Figure 5 to
ensure any MIB dependencies are loading in the correct order.

FA.mib obsoletes the use of the connUnitPortStatFabricTable and now uses the
connUnitPortStatTable for port statistics.
All versions of Fabric OS support SNMPv1. Fabric OS v5.0.1 supports the SNMPv3-USM
(snmpUsmMIB) MIB. Fabric OS v5.3.0 supports the FCIP MIB and ifXtable.
SNMP CLI usage
The examples for configuring SNMPv3 users/traps are listed in the following section.
Configuring SNMPv3 user/traps
1. Create a user on the switch in non-VF Context using CLI userconfig, with the required role.
switch:admin> userconfig --add fa_adm -r fabricadmin -h0 -a 0-255
Setting initial password for fa_adm
Enter new password:********
Re-type new password:********
Account fa_adm has been successfully added.
switch:admin>

Firmware upgrades and enabled traps
The pre-Fabric OS v4.4 firmware had trap group level settings (for example, traps were turned on
and off as a group). In Fabric OS v4.4 or later, you can turn on and off traps individually within a
trap group. When you upgrade to the Fabric OS v4.4 firmware or later, by default the individual
traps are turned off even if the corresponding trap group was enabled before upgrading. You must
use the snmpconfig command to turn on explicitly the individual traps within each trap group.
Fabric OS commands for configuring SNMP
Use the following commands (Table 5) to configure MIBs in the Fabric OS. For procedures for
configuring SNMP on the Brocade switches, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
TABLE 5Commands for configuring SNMP
CommandDescription
snmpConfig This command has all the features of the existing agtcfg* commands; in addition, it has
SNMPv3 configuration parameters.
Enhanced in Fabric OS v6.3.0 to support SNMP Informs for SNMPv3 users.
Enhanced in Fabric OS v6.4.0 to support option-based mibcapability behavior.
snmpTrapsThis command supports the SNMP notification generator feature, Notification generator
framework has been implemented to send various SNMP traps.
For more information about the commands, either refer to Table 6 or the Fabric OS Command Reference.
--show
Displays the SNMP agent configuration data of
the specified category.
--set
Sets the SNMP agent configuration data of the
specified category. This operand displays the
current settings and then prompts you to
change the values for each parameter.
--default
Sets the SNMP agent configuration data for a
specified item to the default values. Generally,
these default values may be available in the
configuration database. The command sets to
factory defaults if the SNMP agent configuration
parameters are not available in the
configuration database.
--enable
Enables the SNMP agent configuration for the
specified category. This operand is
valid only with mibCapability and snmpv1. When
used with the snmpv1
operand, this command restores access to
SNMPv1/v2c.
--disable
Disables the SNMP agent configuration for the
specified category. This operand is valid only
with mibCapability and snmpv1. When used
with the snmpv1 operan d, this comma nd blocks
access to SNMPv1/v2c. All requests for v1/v2c
version will be dropped by the switch, and
SNMPv1 traps will be blocked from being sent,
even if trap destinations are present.
snmpv1 Selects SNMPv1-related configuration
parameters. These parameters include the
community string, trap recipient IP address,
and trap severity level associated with each
trap recipient IP address. When "0" is
configured as a trap port, traps can be received
at the default port 162.
snmpv3 Selects SNMPv3-related configuration
parameters. These parameters include the
user name, authentication protocol and
password, the privacy protocol and password,
the SNMPv3 trap recipient’s IP address, its
associated user index and trap severity level.
When "0" is configured as a trap port, traps can
be received at the default port 162. In Fabric
OS v6.3.0 and later, the --set snmpv3
command supports an interactive option to
enable or disable informs by setting the
parameter “SNMP Informs Enabled” to true or
false. If informs are enabled, all trap
destinations receive inform requests. If informs
are disabled, all trap destinations receive trap
requests. When informs are enabled, the
engine ID must be set to correspond to the
management engine IP address. Informs are by
default disabled.
accessControl Selects access-control-related
parameters. These parameters include the
access host subnet area and access
permission (read-write).
mibCapability Selects configuration
parameters related to the SNMP agent’s MIBs
and trap capability parameters. These
parameters include MIBs and traps supported
by the SNMP agent.
systemGroup Selects configuration parameters
related to the system group. These parameters
include sysDescr, sysLocation, sysContact, and
authentication failure trap.
secLevel Sets the SNMP security level.
Fabric OS MIB Reference21

Fabric OS commands for configuring SNMP
1
TABLE 6Detailed description of the commands (Continued)
--set mibCapability
Configures MIBs interactively. When used
without a MIB name, this command displays a
menu with supported MIBs and associated
traps, and for each MIB or trap, you are
prompted to confirm or change the default by
specifying yes or no. Specifying yes means you
can access the MIB variables with an SNMP
manager. All MIBs and associated traps are by
default enabled.
--enable mibCapability -mib_name
<mib_name>
Enables the specified MIB non-interactively.
--disable mibCapability -mib_name
<mib_name>
Disables the specified MIB non-interactively.
When used with the trap name operand, only
the specified trap is disabled.
Displays the command usage.
--send
Sends one or all SNMP traps to all configured
recipients or to a specified recipient.
-mib_name <mib_name>
Specifies the name of the MIB to be
configured. This operand is required if
you want to configure MIB traps
non-interactively. Valid MIB names include
the following:
• FE-MIB
• SW-MIB
• FA-MIB
• FICON-MIB
• HA-MIB
• FCIP-MIB
• ISCSI-MIB
• IF-MIB
• BD-MIB
-bitmask <bit_mask>
Specifies the bit mask for the MIB. In Fabric OS
v6.4.0 and later, SNMP Traps are identified by
their bit mask and can be read directly from the
switch configuration. The MIB and trap status
(enabled or disabled) status is recorded in a
64- bit counter. The last bit (bit 0) is reserved
for the MIB and the remaining bits are reserved
for the traps of that MIB. The trap's position is
allocated based on the last ID of the trap OID.
For example, the last ID of the swEventTrap is 5
so its position will be fifth from the right.
-trap_name <trap_name>
Specifies the name of the trap to be disabled.
This operand is optional. Use snmpConfig
--show mibCapability for a listing of valid traps.
-trap_name <trap_name>
Specifies the trap by name. Use snmptraps
--show for a listing of valid traps.
-ip_address <ip_address>
Specifies the recipient by its IP address. The IP
address must be specified in IPv4 format.

Support for Administrative Domains
Administrative Domains are supported in Fabric OS v5.3.0 and later releases. An Administrative
Domain (AD) is a domain within a fabric. Administrative domains can be used to limit administrator
access within a fabric, and to provide service providers with a means to assign portions of a fabric
to individual consumers. An AD may contain switches, devices, and ports. An AD may also limit
access to a configured set of users.
Support for Role-Based Access Control
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is supported in Fabric OS v5.3.0 and later releases. RBAC
applies a fixed set of roles that address the access control needs of a majority of customers. Each
role is a set of permissions that can be applied to a user that controls the kinds of jobs and tasks
the user can perform on a fabric or fabric element.
Support for IPv6 addressing
IPv6 addressing is supported in Fabric OS v5.3.0 and later releases.
Support for Virtual Fabric
Virtual Fabric is supported in Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later releases.

Customized traps
This is only applicable for OEM customers. FOS v7.0.0 and v7.0.1 releases supported addition of
system OID in trap OID to customized trap OID on different platforms. For example, Fabric Watch
customized trap OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.62.0.5 on DCX and 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.71.0.5
on Brocade 5100. This feature is not supported from FOS 7.1.0 release.
The descriptions of each of the MIB variables in this chapter come directly from the MIB-II itself.
The notes that follow the descriptions refer to Brocade-specific information and are provided by
Brocade.

Implementation of the Interfaces group is mandatory for all systems. FCIP tunnel support is added
in Fabric OS 5.3.0 and later. To support FCIP tunneling, entries are created in the ifTable for each
WAN interface (GbE port), each FC port, and each FCIP tunnel (transport interface).

The minimum length of the string must be four. The default is End User
Premise.
Set this value using the snmpconfig command.
Read onlyA value that indicates the set of services that this entity primarily offers. The
value is a sum. This sum initially takes the value 0. Then, for each layer, L, in
the range 1 through 7, for which this node performs transactions, 2 raised to
(L - 1) is added to the sum. For example, a node that primarily performs
routing functions has a value of 4 (2
and offers application services has a value of 72 (2

• SNMP represents the FC port ID in ASCII hex represenation. For
example, 36:35:35:33:36 is equivalent to the decimal value of 65536.
To get the decimal value 36-30 = 6; 35-30= 5 and so on. To get the FC
port ID, convert the decimal into hex (the hex value of 65536 is 01 00
00, where the first two digits are the domain, the next two digits are the
area, and the last two digits are the port number).

The Address Translation group contains one table, which is the union across
all interfaces of the translation tables for converting a network address (for
example, an IP address) into a subnetwork-specific address. This document
refers to such a subnetwork-specific address as a physical address.
For example, for broadcast media, where ARP is in use, the translation table
is equivalent to the ARP cache; on an X.25 network, where non-algorithmic
translation to X.121 addresses is required, the translation table contains the
network address to X.121 address equivalences.
The Address Translation tables contain the network address to physical
address equivalences. Some interfaces do not use translation tables for
determining address equivalences (for example, DDN-X.25 has an
algorithmic method); if all interfaces are of this type, then the Address

The semantics of this metric are determined by the routing protocol

Read-write The IP address of the next hop of this route. (In the case of a route bound to
an interface that is realized through a broadcast media, the value of this
field is the agent’s IP address on that interface.)
Read-writeThe type of route. Setting this object to 2 (invalid) has the effect of
invalidating the corresponding entry in the ipRouteTable object. That is, it
effectively dissasociates the destination identified with said entry from the
route identified with said entry. It is an implementation-specific matter as to
whether the agent removes an invalidated entry from the table. Accordingly,
management stations must be prepared to receive tabular information
from agents that corresponds to entries not currently in use. Proper
interpretation of such entries requires examination of the relevant
ipRouteType object.
Valid values:
• other (1) - None of the following
• invalid (2) - An invalidated route—route to directly
• direct (3) - Connected (sub) network—route to a non-local
• indirect (4) - Host/network/subnetwork
The values direct (3) and indirect (4) refer to the notion of direct and
indirect routing in the IP architecture.
Read onlyThe routing mechanism by which this route was learned.
Inclusion of values for gateway routing protocols is not intended to imply

Read-write The mask to be logical-ANDed with the destination address before being
compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field. For those systems that do
not support arbitrary subnet masks, an agent constructs the value of the
ipRouteMask by determining whether the value of the correspondent
ipRouteDest field belong to a class-A, B, or C network, and then using one
of the following:
mask network
255.0.0.0class-A
255.255.0.0 class-B
255.255.255.0 class-C
NOTE: If the value of the ipRouteDest is 0.0.0.0 (default route), then the

Read-writeThis object is an alias name for the interface as specified by a
network manager, and provides a non-volatile handle for the
interface. On the first instantiation of an interface, the value of ifAlias
associated with that interface is the zero-length string. As and when a
value is written into an instance of ifAlias through a network
management set operation, then the agent must retain the supplied
value in the ifAlias instance associated with the same interface for as
long as that interface remains instantiated, including across all
re-initializations or reboots of the network management system,
including those which result in a change of the interfaces ifIndex
value. An example of the value which a network manager might store
in this object for a WAN interface is the (Telcos) circuit number or
identifier of the interface. Some agents may support write-access only
for interfaces having particular values of iftype. An agent which
supports write access to this object is required to keep the value in
non-volatile storage, but it may limit the length of new values
depending on how much storage is already occupied by the current
values for other interfaces.
NOTE: This object is not supported.

• portdisable
• fcoe -disable [for FCOE ports]
Varbinds for this trap are as follows:
• ifIndex
• ifAdminStatus
• ifOperStatus
A linkUp trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recognizes that one of the
communication links represented in the agent's configuration has come up.
This trap is generated for the following ports:
• FCIP GE ports [Brocade 7800E/Brocade 7500/FR4-18i router blade/FX8-24 DCX
This trap is generated for the following switch events:
• portenable
• fcoe -enable
Varbinds for this trap are as follows:
• ifIndex
• ifAdminStatus
• ifOperStatus
An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the sending protocol entity is the
addressee of a protocol message that is not properly authenticated. While
implementations of the SNMP must be capable of generating this trap, they must also
be capable of suppressing the emission of such traps through an
implementation-specific mechanism.
This trap is generated when you perform GET or SET with invalid community strings
(snmpv1).
NOTE: authTraps must be enabled in the switch with the command: snmpconfig -set
