ONTAP 9.15.1 commands

Name of the Ethernet switch that you want to modify. ONTAP utilizes this device name to recognize the SNMP agent it needs to interact with.

IP address of the switch’s management interface. This address is used as the destination of SNMP traffic and SSH connections for the purpose of monitoring and log collection, respectively.

SNMP version that ONTAP employs for sending SNMP requests for monitoring purposes. By default, SNMPv2c is used, as established by the Reference Configuration File (RCF) applied to the switch.

Community string used for SNMPv2 authentication, or the SNMPv3 username for SNMPv3 security. By default, the community string for SNMPv2 authentication is set to cshm1! , as determined by the RCF that is applied to the switch. If SNMPv3 is used, the switch must be configured with the SNMPv3 username.

Switch type: cluster-network , storage-network , or management-network .

Monitoring status selected by the administrator, which is set to true by default when not specified. During maintenance periods, a switch not manually added might be repeatedly discovered and dropped, which could potentially generate unnecessary alerts if monitoring is enabled by default. In such cases, setting this parameter to false disables the monitoring process.
