• fruHistoryTrap

This trap is generated when a FRU is added or removed.

The high availability trap (HA-TRAP) can be configured to send traps using the snmpConfig

command. See the Fabric OS Command Reference for more information on this command.

SW Traps

There are six specific traps defined in Brocade SW-TRAP:

1. swfault (no longer supported)

2. swSensorScn (no longer supported)

3. swFCPortScn

This trap is generated by a port state change.

4. swEventTrap

This trap is generated by any switch event reported to the system error log.

5. swFabricWatchTrap

This trap is generated when any Fabric Watch threshold is reached.

6. swTrackChangesTrap

This trap is generated by a login or a logout.

The SilkWorm trap (SW-TRAP) can be configured to send traps using the snmpConfig command. See

the Fabric OS Command Reference for more information on this command.

Object Instances

MIB objects are defined by the OID, which is the type of object, and by the instance number, which is

an instance of that MIB object. A Fibre Channel port is a MIB object, and port 0 is an instance of that

object. The following is an OID number and an instance number:

1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11.5

where:

1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.11 is the OID (of swFCPortTxWords) and 5 is the

instance ID for port 4.

You must add 1 to the port number to get its instance number in SNMP because SNMP numbering starts

at 1; switch port numbering starts at 0.

Loading Brocade MIBs

The Brocade MIB is a set of variables that are private extensions to the Internet standard MIB-II. The

Brocade agents support many other Internet-standard MIBs. These standard MIBs are defined in RFC

publications. To find specific MIB information, examine the Brocade proprietary MIB structure and the

standard RFC MIBs supported by Brocade.
