Setup SNMP Agent Basic Interface

Overview

This function sets up the SNMP Agent basic interface in the storage system.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard protocol used for network management.

Caution

  • When SNMP Manager exists in a different subnetwork from the storage system, specify the IP address or the network address of SNMP Manager in "Allowable IP Address" of the [Setup Network Environment] function.

  • Before enabling the SNMP function, use the [Setup Firewall] function to allow the "SNMP" connection for the setting target LAN port.

Note
  • By using the [Initial Setup] function, the SNMP Agent environment can be configured with the wizard. When the [Initial Setup] function is not used, configure the SNMP Agent environment in the following order:

    1. Setup SNMP Agent Basic Interface

    2. Setup SNMP Manager

    3. Setup SNMP Agent MIB Access View

    4. Setup SNMP Agent User (*1)

    5. Setup SNMP Agent Community (*2)

    6. Setup SNMP Agent Trap

      *1  :  This setting is required to use SNMPv3 for SNMP communication.
      *2  :  This setting is required to use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c for SNMP communication.

  • The parameter settings specified using this function remain even when the "SNMP Function" setting is changed from "Enable" to "Disable".

Item Description Setting values

SNMP Function

Select whether to enable or disable the SNMP function.

Enable

Disable

LAN Port used for Remote Support

When enabling the SNMP function, select the port used for SNMP from "MNT" or "RMT".

When sending a SNMPv1 trap, the agent-address of the trap sender is the Master CM IP address of the selected port.

MNT

RMT

Authentication Failure

When enabling the SNMP function, select "Send SNMP Trap" or "Do not send SNMP Trap" when authentication fails.

Send SNMP Trap

Do not send SNMP Trap

Engine ID

When enabling the SNMP function, input the engine ID of the SNMP.

The engine ID is a unique identifier used to distinguish the connection target storage system between the SNMP Agent Manager and the SNMP Agent.

It is not necessary to change the default setting for normal use. The default engine ID of the storage system is as follows:

    Octet 1 - 4: Bitwise OR between the company code (fujitsu=211) and 0x80000000

    Octet 5    : 0x80 (fixed)

    Octet 6 - 13: WWN of the storage system (8 bytes)

Alphanumeric characters (0 - 9, A - F, a - f)

Inputting only "0" or "F" for the "Engine ID" field is not allowed

10 - 64 characters (even number)

Default

MIB-II RFC Version

When enabling the SNMP function, select either "RFC1213" or "RFC4293" as the MIB-II support RFC version.

Although it is not necessary to change the default setting ("RFC1213") for normal use, select the RFC version that is supported by the SNMP manager.

  • RFC1213:

    This mode is used for MIB-II that supports RFC1213.

    This RFC supports IPv4 addresses.

  • RFC4293:

    This mode is used for MIB-II that supports RFC4293.

    This RFC supports IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses. This RFC is an extended definition for RFC1213.

Operating Procedures

  1. Click [Setup SNMP Interface] in [Action].

  2. Specify the parameters, and click the [Set] button.

    → A confirmation screen appears.

    Caution

    • If the entered engine ID does not satisfy the input conditions, an error screen appears.

  3. Click the [OK] button.

    → Setting of the SNMP Agent basic starts.

  4. Click the [Done] button to return to the [Network] screen.
