Trap Detection Overview

The Broadmore supports trap-directed notifications. This means that the Broadmore can automatically send a notification message to a network manager when a certain trap event occurs. This is much more efficient than having to continually poll each device on a network to check if it is working properly.

The Broadmore can send the following kinds of trap notifications:

Major/Minor Alarms for each module and port – each “set” alarm is matched by a “clear”, indicating the states of the fault LEDs on the chassis or module

Module inserted or removed from the chassis Slot failure

UNI up/down Redundancy switchover

File restores by the user – a user audit event Reboots by the user – a user audit event Reboots from system failure

Cold start – a generic trap

Traps are a valuable network management tool for monitoring system status. However, to realize their full value, the system should post only those conditions requiring action by maintenance personnel. Otherwise, a fundamental system problem might create an avalanche of related traps, resulting in further degradation of the network.
