Configuring the SNMP agent

 This window enables, disables, and configures the SNMP daemon on the filer. To reload the current settings from the filer, click the Reload Settings button. To view the changes that you made, click the View Changes button. After you make a change, click the Save Changes button to save the changes to the filer.

SNMP capabilities

For diagnostic and other network management services, the filer supports the SNMP version 1 compatible agent. This agent supports both MIB-II (RFC 1213) and the Network Appliance custom MIB.

The following list describes the groups in MIB-II:

  • system
  • interfaces
  • address translation
  • IP
  • ICMP
  • TCP
  • UDP
  • SNMP MIB-II groups

The following list describes the groups in the Network Appliance custom MIB:

product
Product-level information, such as the Data ONTAP version string and system ID.
sysStat
System-level statistics, such as CPU uptime, idle time, and aggregate kilobytes received and transmitted on all network interfaces.
nfs
Statistics about NFS, including statistics for each client if per-client NFS statistics are enabled. The per-client NFS statistics are indexed by client IP addresses.
quota
Information related to disk quotas, provided that quotas are enabled.
filesys
Information related to the file system, including the maximum number of files, disk space information, and some information about existing snapshots.
raid
Information about RAID groups.

Configuring the SNMP agent

The following list describes the fields for configuring the SNMP agent:

SNMP Enabled
Enables SNMP and initializes the SNMP daemon with the values set in this window. It also sends out a coldStart trap when the filer reboots.
Contact
Specifies the email address and telephone number of the person responsible for the filer (for example, jdoe@abc.com 415-555-1212). You can include the person's full name, but an email address and a telephone number enable Network Appliance Technical Support to contact the right person after receiving an automatic email through autosupport from your site concerning your filer status.
Location
Specifies the physical location of the filer (for example, ABC corporation, engineering lab). This value will be returned by the SNMP agent.
Communities
Adds or deletes communities with the specified access control type. Currently the SNMP SetRequest PDU is not supported, so all read-write communities default to read-only. The default community for the filer SNMP agent is public and its access mode is read-only.
Traphosts
Defines recipients of all SNMP traps from the filer.
