settings, use the QLogic Switch telnet command "show setup snmp".
For any changes use "set setup snmp". (Refer "QLogic
Switch Management User’s Guide" for details.)
- OpStor uses snmp port 161 and read community 'public' for discovery. If
your settings are different , please provide the same in the OpStor web-client
while adding Switch.
- Register OpStor server IP address as a snmp trap destination for the QLogic
Switch.

- Provide the IP Address of QLogic switch IP in the "IP Address' text
fields
- If the read community is other than "public" , choose 'SNMP' option and
specify it in the "community" field
- Click "Add Device'..
