Trap Name and Number

Varbind

Description

 

 

 

linkDown

ifIndex(1)

A failure in one of the communication links.

1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3

ifAdminStatus(7)

For example,

 

ifOperStatus(8)

Interface <port-name> <port-num>, state down

 

 

 

linkUp

ifIndex(1)

The communication link is up.

Traps for spanning tree protocol

Brocade supports for the following traps for Spanning Tree Protocol from RFC 1493.

Trap Name and Number

Description

 

 

newRoot

Indicates that the sending agent has become the new root of the Spanning

1.3.6.1.2.1.17.0.1

Tree. The trap is sent by a bridge soon after its election as the new root, for

 

example, upon expiration of the Topology Change Timer immediately

 

subsequent to its election.

topologyChange 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.0.2

Is sent by a bridge when any of its configured ports transitions from the Learning state to the Forwarding state, or from the Forwarding state to the Blocking state. The trap is not sent if a newRoot trap is sent for the same transition.

Trap Name and Number

Varbind

Description

 

 

 

risingAlarm

alarmIndex,

The SNMP trap that is generated when an alarm entry

1.3.6.1.2.1.16.0.1

alarmVariable,

crosses its rising threshold and generates an event that is

 

alarmSampleType,

configured for sending SNMP traps.

 

alarmValue,

 

 

alarmRisingThreshold

 

 

 

 

fallingAlarm

alarmIndex,

The SNMP trap that is generated when an alarm entry

1.3.6.1.2.1.16.0.2

alarmVariable,

crosses its falling threshold and generates an event that is

 

alarmSampleType,

configured for sending SNMP traps.
