SMI-S or SNMP
Hello,
This is Subir Das from Network Appliance. I would like to implement a tool which will retrieve san switch configuration data. This tool would be collecting data from Brocade, McData, Cisco and Qlogic switches. Q1. Should I use SMI-S interface or SNMP technology to retrieve switch configuration data? Which support is better in san switches. Q2. I need to collect following data using these tool. Which technique (SMI-S or SNMP) has better support to collect following data. Firmware version, Switch Name, Switch WWN, Domain ID, ISL Data, Name Server, Trunkinfo, Port data, Zone data, Name server, License Data, VSAN/LSAN Thank you, Subir |

All vendors support SMI-S - and you can get all data that you're looking for. Major advantage is that you need only one API - instead of reading the different MIBs, dealing with the SNMP authorities etc. You would also ensure that you are compatible with future versions of the switch OS. Some vendors e.g. Brocade require you to install a proxy smi-s. regards sarguid |
