The Cisco DCNM-SAN Server properties file (<b class="cBold">MDS 9000\server.properties</b>) contains a list of 
properties that determine how the Cisco DCNM-SAN Server will function. You can edit this file with a 
text editor, or you can set the properties through the DCNM-SAN Web Services GUI, under the Admin 
tab.

SNMP Specific

<a name="wp257774"> </a><li class="pSmartList1"><b class="cBold">snmp.preferTCP</b>&#8212;If this option is set to true, TCP is the default protocol for Cisco DCNM-SAN 
Server to communicate with switches. By default, this setting is <b style="font-weight: normal" class="cBold">true</b>. For those switches that do not 
have TCP enabled, Cisco DCNM-SAN Server uses UDP. The advantage of this setting is the ability 
to designate one TCP session for each SNMP user on a switch. It also helps to reduce timeouts and 
increase scalability.
</li>
<a name="wp259206"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> If you set this option to false, the same choice must be set in DCNM-SAN. The default value of 
snmp.preferTCP for DCNM-SAN is true.
