APPENDICES
Appendix A: MIB SNMP Traps
The switch has the ability to send audit events to an SNMP Manager. The SNMP traps are defined in an
SNMP Trap MIB.
The Trap MIB file can be uploaded from the switch using the Save Trap MIB function. The uploaded Trap
MIB file can then be loaded into an SNMP Trap Receiver application.
This appendix describes the trap events that can be generated by the switch. Although care has been
taken to keep the information in this appendix up to date, the actual Trap MIB file will contain the most
accurate trap information.
An SNMP manager can access MIB-II objects of the switch using the IPv4 or IPv6 protocols.
By design, the enterprise specific MIB objects within the switch cannot be accessed using SNMP.
The switch trap definitions use the structure described in the following Request For Comments (RFCs):
• RFC-1155-SMI
Describes the common structures and identification scheme for the definition of management
information for use with TCP/IP-based Internet.
• RFC-1212
Describes the format for producing concise and descriptive MIB modules.
• RFC-1213-MIB
Describes the Internet standard MIB-II for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-
based inter-networks.
• RFC-1215
Describes the SNMP standardized traps and provides a means for defining enterprise-specific
traps. The specific objects reported by each trap are defined in the Trap MIB file which is
uploaded from the switch. The following table is a list of the generated trap events.
