Table B-11 Elements of a Trap Message

In a generic trap, this is the object identifier of the device that generates the trap (sysObjectID). In a
specific trap, this field contains an identifier used to differentiate the definition domain of the trap.
The network address of the device that issues the trap. If IP protocol is used, the agent-addr is the IP
address of the device.
An integer value that identifies the type of trap. Allowable values:
0 to 5 Identifies common conditions that occur in IP network operations; i.e., indicates that the trap
is a device generic trap.
6 Indicates that the trap is a device-specific trap.
An integer that identifies different device conditions; defined by the device vendor.
The sysUpTime variable. This is the time period from the initialization of the device to the moment
the trap is issued. This time period is expressed in hundredths of a second.
