Generic Traps
Setting up the switch's SNMP connection to an existing managed network allows the network system
administrator to receive the following generic traps:
coldStart — indicates the manage node has reinitialized itself such that the manage node's
configuration can be altered.
warmStart — indicates the manage node has reinitialized itself, but no configuration has changed.
linkDown — indicates an IP interface (Ethernet, loop back, or embedded N_Port) has gone down and is
not available.
linkUp — indicates an IP interface (Ethernet, loop back, or embedded N_Port) has become available.
authenticationFailure — indicates the manage node has received a protocol message that is not
properly authenticated. This trap, by default, is disabled but can be enabled via the command
agtcfgSet
Enterprise Specific Traps
Three Enterprise Specific Traps are supported:
swFault — indicates that the diagnostics detect a fault with the switch.
swSensorScn — indicates that 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 offline). The VarBind in the Trap Data Unit contains the
corresponding instance of the port's operational status.
NOTE: SNMP swFCPortScn traps are generated on 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
sysLocation
authenticationFailure — indicates the manage node has received a protocol message that is not
properly authenticated. This trap, by default, is disabled but can be enabled via the command
agtcfgSet.
The sysX parameters can be configured via the SNMPv1 SET command with an appropriate community.
These parameters can be configured via a Telnet connection, using the command agtcfgSet.
NOTE: A change in the first two configuration parameters takes effect only after rebooting the switch.
