Enterprise Specific Traps

The following Enterprise Specific Traps are supported:
•
swFault — Indicates the diagnostics detect a fault with the switch.
•
swSensorScn — Indicates an environment sensor changes its operational state.
For example; a fan stops working. The VarBind in the Trap Data Unit contains the
corresponding instance of the sensor status.
•
swFCPortScn — A notification that a Fibre Channel Port changes its operational
state. For instance, the Fibre Channel Port goes from online to off-line. The
VarBind in the Trap Data Unit contains the corresponding instance of the port's
operational status.
•
swEventTrap — A notification that an event has occurred and its event severity
level is at or below the value set in the variable swEventTrapLevel. The VarBind in
the Trap Data Unit contains the corresponding instance of the event index, time
information, event severity level, the repeat count, and description.
The parameters can be configured via the SNMPv1 SET command with an appropri-
ate community. These parameters can also be configured via a Telnet connection,
using the command agtcfgSet.
NOTE: SNMP swFCPortScn traps are generated on gigabit interface converter (GBIC)
insertion and removal even though the state remains offline.

Manage Node Configuration

Changes to SNMP from either Telnet or SNMP are not displayed in SNMP until the
switch is rebooted running. This is due to SNMP running from cache while the active
settings are running from the flash PROM.
The configurable parameters include the following:
•
SNMPv1 communities (up to 6)
•
Trap recipients (1 per community)
•
sysName
•
sysContact
•
sysLocation
•
authenticationFailure — Indicates the manage node has received a protocol mes-
sage that is not properly authenticated. This trap, by default, is disabled but can
be enabled via the command agtcfgSet.
•
swEventTrapLevel — Indicates the swEventTrap severity level in conjunction with
an event's severity level. When an event occurs and if its severity level is at or
below the set value, the SNMP trap, swEventTrap, is sent to configured recipi-
ents. By default, this value is set at 0, implying that no swEventTrap is sent.
Possible values are as follows:
0 — None
1 — Critical
