Getting technical help
Contact your switch supplier for hardware, firmware, and software support, including product
repairs and part ordering. To expedite your call, have the following information immediately
available:
1. General Information
•Switch model
•Switch operating system version
•Software name and software version, if applicable
•Error numbers and messages received
•supportSave command output
•Detailed description of the problem, including the switch or fabric behavior immediately
following the problem, and specific questions
•Description of any troubleshooting steps already performed and the results
•Serial console and Telnet session logs
•syslog message logs
2. Switch Serial Number
The switch serial number and corresponding bar code are provided on the serial number label,
as shown here:
The serial number label is located as follows:
•Brocade 300, 4100, 4900, 5100, 5300, 7500, 7800, 8000, and Brocade Encryption
Switch—On the switch ID pull-out tab located inside the chassis on the port side on the left
•Brocade 5000—On the switch ID pull-out tab located on the bottom of the port side of the
switch
•Brocade 7600—On the bottom of the chassis
•Brocade 48000—Inside the chassis next to the power supply bays
•Brocade DCX—On the bottom right on the port side of the chassis
•Brocade DCX-4S—On the bottom right on the port side of the chassis, directly above the
cable management comb.
3. World Wide Name (WWN)
Use the licenseIdShow command to display the WWN of the chassis.
*FT00X0054E9*
FT00X0054E9

Fabric OS MIB Reference xvii
53-1001339-01
•If you cannot use the licenseIdShow command because the switch is inoperable, you can
get the WWN from the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For
the Brocade DCX, access the numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo
plate at the top of the nonport side of the chassis.

Setting the SNMP security level
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard method of monitoring
and managing network devices. This protocol promotes interoperability because SNMP-capable
systems must adhere to a common set of framework and language rules.
Understanding the components of SNMP makes it possible to use third-party tools to view, browse,
and manipulate Brocade switch variables (MIBs) remotely as well as to set up an enterprise-level
management process. Every Brocade switch and director supports SNMP.
Recipients for SNMP traps are restricted according to security levels. Security levels are selected
and set for a switch using the snmpconfig --set seclevel command. To select and set SNMP security
levels, issue the command snmpconfig --set seclevel after having logged in to the switch as admin.
The following example sets the SNMP security level to 1(authentication only). This setting allows all
SNMPv1 users to perform GET and SET operations on MIBs, but creates an exception for SNMPv3
users that do not have authentication and privacy privileges (noAuthnoPriv).
switch:admin> snmpconfig --set seclevel
Select SNMP Security Level
(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 =
sxNo Access): (0..3) [0]
Select SNMP SET Security Level
(0 = No security, 1 = Authentication only, 2 = Authentication and Privacy, 3 =
No Access): (0..3) [0]

Understanding SNMP basics
Every Brocade switch carries an agent and management information base (MIB), as shown in
Figure 1. The agent accesses information about a device and makes it available to an SNMP
network management station.
FIGURE 1 SNMP structure
When active, the management station can get information or set information when it queries an
agent. SNMP commands, such as get, set, getnext, setnext, and getresponse, are sent from the
management station, and the agent replies once the value is obtained or modified (Figure 2).
Agents use variables to report such data as the number of bytes and packets in and out of the
device, or the number of broadcast messages sent and received. These variables are also known
as managed objects. All managed objects are contained in the MIB.
FIGURE 2 SNMP query
The management station can also receive traps, unsolicited messages from the switch agent if an
unusual event occurs. Refer to “Understanding SNMP traps” on page 4 for more information.
FIGURE 3 SNMP trap
The agent can receive queries from one or more management stations and can send traps to up to
six management stations.
