Goal

 Enable SNMP Feature on SL500/SL3000/SL8500 through CLI.

Solution

Requirements:

• Tape library running FRS_3.12 (FRS_3,0 in case of the SL3000 tape library) or higher.
• SL console FRS 2.95 or higher.
• Monitoring server IP address.
• Access to CLI for the library.
• Enable network ports 161 - 162.

How to Enable SNMP on a tape library.

 We need to follow 4 main steps to complete this task, which are:

1. Add users.
2. Add trap levels.
3. Verify that those were created.
4. Enable the port.

 Note: All the steps were written with the premise that there are no users or traps created .

Pre Steps:

Create a Webex session with customers or connect to the library through SDP.
Connect to the library using CLI.

STEP 1 - Add Users-

Run this command:

 SL8500>snmp addUser version v2c community <communitystring>

Example:

 SL8500>snmp addUser version v2c community  public

 request id
 request id         6
 device         1,0,0,0
 Success        true
 done
 Failure Count        0
Success Count     1
COMPLETED
OK
SL8500>

STEP 2 - Add Trap Levels -

Run this command:

SL8500>snmp addTrapRecipient trapLevel <trap Level String>
host <IP address of the monitoring server or the host name> version v2c community public


SL8500>snmp addTrapRecipient trapLevel 1.2.3.11 host 128.45.1.162 version v2c community public

 request id
 request id         2
 device         1,0,0,0
 Success        true
 done
 Failure Count        0
Success Count     1
COMPLETED
OK
SL8500>

 Note: if customers want to receive “everything” on their monitoring server, you just need to set a trap
level with the value * and it's done.


Step 3 - Validate everything -

Run this command: SL8500>snmp listUsers
to validate that the user(s) were created.

 Example:
 
SL8500> snmp listUsers

   requestId

   requestId 40501

   Attributes Community public
              Index     1

              Version   v2c

   Object     Snmp      snmp

   Done

   Failure Count 0

   Success Count 1

COMPLETED

SL8500>

Run this command: SL8500> snmp listTrapRecipients
to validate that the trap recipients were created.

SL8500> snmp listTrapRecipients

   requestId

   requestId 40601

   Attributes Community  public
              Host       10.157.189.219

              Index      1

              Port       162

              Trap Level 1

              Version    v2c

   Object     Snmp       snmp

   Done

   Failure Count 0

   Success Count 1

COMPLETED

Step 4 - Enable the port-

Run this command to enable the ports and make the feature enabled on the library:
 snmp enable port <portID>.



Example:
SL8500> snmp enable port2B
 request id
 request id         53
 device         1,0,0,0
 Success        true
 done
 Failure Count        0
Success Count     1
COMPLETED
OK
SL8500>


And by enabling the port, customer should be able to get messages from his monitoring server.

With all of this done, SNMP is configured.
