ECC 6.0 and SMNP
We are in the process of deploying ECC 6.0 (first time users) and are now being told that it will only support SNMP V1.0. Our Cisco switches are running SNMP V3.0 and we won't be going back to V1.0 just so we can manage our switch environment with ECC. Has anyone else run into this issue?
thanks,
Kevin

"For a switch to be discovered and managed by Fibre Channel Connectivity agent, SNMP v1 must be enabled on the switch (v2 or v3 on Cisco switches)."
Looks the SNMP requirement is for other kinds of switches (Brocade/McData, etc.)
We have Cisco 9513 in ECC 6.0 and do not recall having to set anything to downgrade the version of SNMP on the Cisco switch and it is working fine. We created a "non-default" community name but as far as I can tell it is using v2 or v3 and not v1 SNMP.
That said there MAY be a quirk with having the Cisco switches sending alerts to ECC requiring v1 of SNMP. But you would define this configuring traps and would not be risking putting anything sensitive over the wire through this method.
Hope this helps.
