3.World Wide Name (WWN)

Fabric OS MIB Reference	xix
53-1002750-01

Document feedback

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.

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]

Table 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.

	SNMP	MIB
Management Station	Agent

FIGURE 1 SNMP structure

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.

			get, getnext, set
Management Station					Agent

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.bcsi.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.

1 Understanding SNMP basics

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).

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.

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

•not accessible

You cannot read or write to this variable.

•read create

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

•read only - Public

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.

NOTE

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.

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

This trap is generated by a port state change.

4.swEventTrap

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.

5.swFabricWatchTrap

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.

6.swTrackChangesTrap

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.

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.

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.
