Add a back-end switch for monitoring
Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
The storage switch add
command enables you to add FC switches for SNMP monitoring in a MetroCluster configuration. Front end switches should not be added for monitoring and will result in a Monitor Status Error condition.
Parameters
-address <IP Address>

This parameter specifies the IP address of the back-end switch that is added for monitoring.
[-snmp-version {SNMPv1|SNMPv2c|SNMPv3}]
- Supported SNMP Version-
This parameter specifies the SNMP version that Data ONTAP uses to communicate with the back-end switch that is added for monitoring. The default SNMP version is SNMPv2c.
- {
[-snmp-community <text>]
- (DEPRECATED)-SNMPv2c Community or SNMPv3 Username -
This parameter is deprecated and may be removed in a future release of Data ONTAP. Use -snmp-community-or-username
instead.This parameter specifies the SNMPv2c community set or SNMPv3 username on the switch that is added for monitoring.

[-veto-backend-fabric-check {true|false}]
- Veto Back-end Fabric Check? (privilege: advanced)-

storage switch add
command will not check if the switch is present in the MetroCluster's back-end fabric. By default, it does not let you add switches that are not present. [-blades <integer>,…]

Examples
The following command adds a back-end switch with IP Address 10.226.197.34 for monitoring:
cluster1::> storage switch add -address 10.226.197.34 -snmp-community-or-username public cluster1::> storage switch show Symbolic Is Monitor Switch Name Vendor Model Switch WWN Monitored Status ----------- -------- ------- ---------- ---------------- --------- ------- Cisco_10.226.197.34 mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-4 Cisco DS-C9148-16P-K9 2000547fee78f088 true ok mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-1 mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-1 Cisco - - false - mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-2 mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-2 Cisco - - false - mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-3 mcc-cisco-8Gb-fab-3 Cisco - - false - 4 entries were displayed. cluster1::>
The following command adds a Cisco Director Class switch for monitoring. Data ONTAP uses SNMPv3 and 'snmpuser1' username to communicate with this switch.
cluster1::> storage switch add -address 10.228.56.208 -snmp-version SNMPv3 -snmp-community-or-username snmpuser1 -blades 3,4
