Monitor Brocade VF

mportak

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
