Monitor Brocade VF

Hi,

I need a help regarding setup monitoring Virtual Fabric (switches) using snmp v3. I followed the instruction from web but I have the following issue.
I have the following setup:

Switch Name                        FID IP                  FID accessible
ENALL_F1_L_host_81:FID91 91 10.200.32.81 91 92 127 128
ENALL_F2_L_host_82:FID92 92 10.200.32.82 91 92 127 128

ENALL_F1_R_host_83:FID91 91 10.200.32.83 91 92 127 128
ENALL_F2_R_host_84:FID92 92 10.200.32.84 91 92 127 128

When I create snmpuser1 on my first switch, he showed up on every switch and it is not possible to change home FID for snmpuser1. So, with snmpwalk I am not getting right info from my switch.

I will provide more info if needed.

Please advise.

Thx

    Hi,

    you have to assign all Virtual Fabrics (VF:IDs) to this user.

    Follow this documentation:
    https://www.stor2rrd.com/install.htm
    SAN tab -> Brocade/QLogic Virtual Fabric support

    Configure security user on the switch (under admin account):
    userconfig --add snmpuser1 -r user -l 1,128
    userconfig --change snmpuser1 -r user -l 1,128 -h 128 -e no
    Parameter -l 1,128 defines virtual fabrics visible for this user.
    Parameter -h 128 defines home virtual fabrics.
    Parameter -e no disables user expiration
    Example above allows virtual fabrics 1 and 128 for user snmpuser1.

    Karel thx,

    that is clear, I found solution, that I need different user in same VF for each switch.

    Do you know how to change fo user VF assignment because I am not able:

    >userconfig --change snmpadmin1 -r user -l 92 -h 92 -e no

    or create new user for snmp v3 Config:

    SNMPv3 USM configuration:
    User 1 (rw): snmpadmin1
            Auth Protocol: noAuth
            Priv Protocol: noPriv
    User 2 (rw): snmpadmin2
            Auth Protocol: noAuth
            Priv Protocol: noPriv
    User 3 (rw): snmpadmin3
            Auth Protocol: noAuth
            Priv Protocol: noPriv
    User 4 (ro): snmpuser1
            Auth Protocol: noAuth
            Priv Protocol: noPriv
    User 5 (ro): snmpuser2
            Auth Protocol: noAuth
            Priv Protocol: noPriv
    User 6 (ro): admin
            Auth Protocol: noAuth
            Priv Protocol: noPriv

     Thank you
