Issue

ONTAP displays SwithSNMPCommunication_Alert as follows:

Cluster::> system health alert show
               Node: Cluster-01
           Alert ID: SwitchSNMPCommunication_Alert
        Resource: cluster-switch01
           Severity: Major
    Indication Time: Fri Aug 16 13:41:11 2024
           Suppress: false
        Acknowledge: false
     Probable Cause: SNMP communication from the node to the ethernet
                     switch has failed repeatedly. Invalid SNMP settings
                     are configured with ONTAP Switch Health Monitoring or
      on the Ethernet switch.
    Possible Effect: Ethernet switch communication problems and
                     accessibility issues.
 Corrective Actions: 1) Check the SNMPv2c community or SNMPv3 username on the Ethernet switch to verify
  that the expected community string or username is configured.
                     To view the expected community string or username, run the "system switch ethernet show -snmp-config" command.
                     2) (SNMPv3) Verify that the SNMPv3 credentials are present within ONTAP.
                     To view the established SNMP logins, run the "security login show -application snmp" command.
                     If a custom engine-id was provided for the SNMPv3 user,
 ensure it is same as that of the remote switch.
