This appendix describes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) capabilities that Dell storage systems
support. This includes standard MIB-II, the FibreAlliance SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) version 2.2 objects,
and enterprise traps.
The storage systems can report their status through SNMP. SNMP provides basic discovery using MIB-II, more detailed
status with the FA MIB 2.2, and asynchronous notification using enterprise traps.
SNMP is a widely used network monitoring and control protocol. It is an application layer protocol that facilitates the
exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite.
SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for
network growth. Data is passed from SNMP agents reporting activity on each network device to the workstation console
used to oversee the network. The agents return information contained in a Management Information Base (MIB), which is
a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned on and off, etc.).
