SNMP Traps

Generic Traps

All SNMP generic traps (Cold_Start, Warm_Start, Link_Down, Link_Up, Authentication_Failure, Egp_Neighbor_Loss) are mapped to distinct event classes.

These generic SNMP event classes can be specialized to incorporate additional information provided by some equipment. For instance, when a Cisco router issues an Authentication_Failure trap, it provides an additional variable in the varbind list that gives the protocol address of the device sending the badly authenticated SNMP request. For Link_Down traps, Cisco routers provide additional information describing which interface is going down and why it is going down. Since the content of the varbind list is not specified in the SNMP standard, it can vary from one equipment to the next. This can impact the way event classes and subclasses are defined.

Enterprise-specific Traps

By definition, enterprise-specific traps vary from one equipment vendor to the next.

Enterprise-specific traps can be handled by supporting Cisco routers enterprise-specific traps, as follows:

1tcpConnectionClose

Additionally, enterprise-specific traps can be handled by supporting Cabletron hubs, as follows:
