Choose the following settings for network devices that will be managed by Resource Orchestrator.
Login User Name
This user name can contain up to 64 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
Password
This password can contain up to 80 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case) and symbols (ASCII characters 0x20, 0x21, and 0x23 to 0x7e) with the exception of double quotation marks ( " ).
Administrator Password
This password can contain up to 80 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case) and symbols (ASCII characters 0x20, 0x21, and 0x23 to 0x7e) with the exception of double quotation marks ( " ).
SNMP community name
This user name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case), underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
SNMP trap destination
This must be the admin IP address of the admin server.
Note
Depending on the network device used, setting an SNMP trap destination may restrict SNMP access to that device.
When a LAN switch blade is registered with the Converged Fabric mode of PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2 and the representative virtual IP address of the fabric is specified, it is not possible to receive SNMP traps.
In a clustered manager configuration, when managing network devices, set the physical IP addresses of both the primary and secondary nodes as SNMP trap destinations.
If the network device is set to only grant access from known IP addresses, be sure to give permissions to the physical IP addresses of both the primary and secondary cluster nodes, as is done with SNMP trap destination settings.
For details, refer to network device manuals.
Information
Character limitations vary depending on the network device used.
For details, refer to network device manuals.
In order to track the network connections between managed servers (PRIMERGY BX) and adjacent LAN switches, and display them in the NetworkViewer, the following protocols should be first enabled on each LAN switch blade and network device.
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)
CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)
If the VLAN settings are to be performed on the ports with link aggregation set on the following LAN switch blades, set the apparatuses as follows.
LAN Switch Blades
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8
PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2 (switch mode, end host mode)
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6
Configuration
LLDP
When setting LLDP, disable the setting for [VLAN name information]. Make the other settings valid.
When using a LAN switch blade PY CB 10Gb FEX Nexus B22, VLAN configuration cannot be performed on it, thus the following functions cannot be used. Manually configure VLAN settings from a Nexus 5000 series that connects to a LAN switch blade PY CB 10Gb FEX Nexus B22 in advance.
Changing and setting the VLAN for LAN switch blades (internal and external connection ports)
Restoration of LAN switch blades
Note
Adjacent network devices should be set to use the same protocol.
For details, refer to network device manuals.
If a network device adjacent to a LAN switch blade does not support either LLDP or CDP, it should be set up to use the supported protocol.
Resource Orchestrator cannot detect the network connections between a LAN switch blade set in IBP mode and its adjacent network devices.
For the following LAN switch blades, the settings described below should be set to the same values in order to enable proper detection of network links.
LAN Switch Blades
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6
Expected Values:
hostname set from the hostname command
system name set from the snmp-server sysname command
Example
When setting both the hostname and system name to "swb1".
# hostname swb1
# snmp-server sysname swb1
For the following LAN switch blade, the settings described below should be set to the same value to enable proper detection of network links.
LAN Switch Blades
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10Gb 18/8
PY CB Eth Switch 10/40Gb 18/8+2 (switch mode, end host mode)
Configuration
Using the snmp agent address command, set the admin IP address of the LAN switch blade for the agent address.
Network connections may not be displayed properly if two or more network devices are set with a conflicting system name (sysName).
