Example of installing a root certificate
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.6.0\bin> keytool -import -alias RootCert -file
RootCert.crt -keystore ..\lib\security\RootCerts
Enter keystore password: changeit

In the example, changeit is the default password and RootCert is an example root certificate name.
Simple Network Management Protocol
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard method for monitoring and
managing network devices. Using SNMP components, you can program tools to view, browse, and
manipulate Brocade switch variables and set up enterprise-level management processes.
Every Brocade switch carries an SNMP agent and management information base (MIB). The agent
accesses MIB information about a device and makes it available to a network management station.
You can manipulate information of your choice by
trapping MIB elements using the Fabric OS
command line interface (CLI), Web Tools, or DCFM.
The SNMP access control list (ACL) provides a way for the administrator to restrict SNMP get, set,
trap, and inform operations to certain hosts and IP addresses. This is used for enhanced
management security in the storage area network.
For details on Brocade MIB files, naming conventions, loading instructions, and information about
using Brocade's SNMP agent, see the
Fabric OS MIB Reference .
You can configure SNMPv3 and SNMPv1 for the automatic transmission of SNMP information to
management stations.
The configuration process involves configuring the SNMP agent and configuring SNMP traps. Use
the snmpConfig command to configure the SNMP agent and traps for SNMPv3 or SNMPv1
configurations, and the security level. You can specify no security, authentication only, or
authentication and privacy.
The SNMP trap configuration specifies the MIB trap elements to be used to send information to the
SNMP management station. There are two main MIB trap choices:
•
Brocade-specific MIB trap
Associated with the Brocade-specific MIB (SW-MIB), this MIB monitors Brocade switches
specifically.
•
FibreAlliance MIB trap
Associated with the FibreAlliance MIB (FA-MIB), this MIB manages SAN switches and devices
from any company that complies with FibreAlliance specifications.
