2 Configuring a Switch
This section describes how to configure a QLogic switch to support SNMP. The
following topics are covered:
System specifications and requirements
Configuring a switch using the Telnet command line interface
Configuring a switch using the Enterprise Fabric Suite application
System Specifications and Requirements
QLogic switches support SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
Version 1 and 2 traps are supported.
Hardware — one out-of-band Ethernet connection is required.
Software — one switch management software application allows you to:
Monitor and control the switch.
Read, write, and receive trap information, if supported.
Ports on the switch reserved for SNMP:
Port 161 is not configurable, and is used for the standard SNMP
commands.
Port 162 is configurable and is the default port used for traps.
One or more in-band switches can be managed by an out-of-band QLogic
switch acting as a proxy switch.
QLogic can only act as a proxy for other QLogic switches.
QLogic proxy capability can be disabled.
