The FluidFS cluster includes an FTP server that provides a storage location for the following types of
system files:
• Diagnostic results files
• License file
• SNMP MIBs and traps
• Service pack files
Accessing the FTP Server
The FTP server can be accessed at:
ftp://<FluidFS_administrator_user_name>@<client_VIP_or_name>:44421/
For example:
ftp://Administrator@172.22.69.32:44421/
Upon access, you are prompted for the FluidFS cluster administrator password.

Managing SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one way to monitor the health of the system and
generate alert messages (SNMP traps) for system problems. To use SNMP, the FluidFS cluster‐specific
Management Information Bases (MIBs) and traps must be compiled into a customer‐provided SNMP
management station. The MIBs are databases of information specific to the FluidFS cluster.
