Brocade SMI agent operation not supported

Hi,

Ensure the Brocade SMI agent is version 120.11

DS-300B switches requires FOS v6.1.0 or higher to be able to be proxy switches for the Brocade SMI-agent

Information from the 120.11 release notes on firewall ports: (http://www.brocade.com/services-support/drivers-downloads/smi-agent/application_matrix.page)

At login the Brocade SMI Agent first contacts the switch through RPC on portmapper port 111. All
other calls to the switch are through RPC on ports 897 (non-secure) and 898 (secure).
The ARR and Eventing ports that you select are those on the Brocade SMI Agent host.

If there is a firewall between the Brocade SMI Agent and the Brocade fabric, the following ports
must be opened:SMIAgent to Switch:• 111 • 897• 898 Switch to SMIAgent: • Your ARR and Eventing port selections.

Please ensure all required/above ports are opened.

If the Brocade smi agent host has multiple ip addresses do the following:

modify the file /agent/server/jserver/bin/SMIAgentConfig.xml as described in the SMI Agent User Guide under "Brocade SMI Agent" / "Enable multi-homed support".

The Brocade SMI Agent supports multi-homed hosts; that is, hosts configured with multiple IPs.This means that you can configure which IP address the SMI Agent should use for Event and ARR registration on the switch.

1. Edit the SMIAgentConfig.xml file found at .../server/jserver/bin with the following entry:

For example,

username=""/>

2. Restart the Brocade SMI Agent.

Configuring IP address for SMI Agent client to server communication in multi-homed systems
