are controlled by the ForwardTrapsToNms and ForwardTrapsToPcnc
settings in the [SNMP Link] section of PCNC.INI. If enabled, the traps
are produced irrespectively of the link from which they originated.
'NMS' format traps are intended for transmission to a higher-level
Network Management System (NMS), and are formatted as per the trap
definitions in the MIB file.
'PCNC' format traps are intended for transmission to another copy of
PCNC that has the ReceiveTraps setting in the [SNMP Link] section of
its PCNC.INI enabled. This facility is provided for software development
and debugging purposes. See below for details of the 'PCNC' format.
13.2.2 Trap receipt format
PCNC can also receive alerts in SNMP traps from Cabletron devices on
a TCP/IP network. To enable this, set ReceiveTraps=On in the [SNMP
Link] section of PCNC.INI.
These traps are generated by the hardware, and are defined by the
alertCabletronMessage trap entry in the MIB file supplied on the SNMP
extensions disk. The alertDescription variable in this trap is a string
that is formatted in exactly the same way as alert messages received via
the Control and Remote Links. On receiving one of these traps, PCNC
extracts the alert string, and processes it exactly as it would process an
alert message received via a COM port.
