DESCRIPTION Use this command to manage specific Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps.
Use the --send option to send a specific SNMP trap to a recipient indicated by its IP address. Or use the
--send option without operands to send all supported traps to all configured SNMP trap recipients. When
the command is issued to send all traps, the message returned indicates only the total number of traps
sent and not the individual trap names.
In Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later you can block or unblock certain port traps on specified ports. This feature
provides control over a subset of port traps including the following: SwFCPortScn,
ConnUnitPortStatusChange, and SwFabricSegmentTrap.
Use the --show option with the port operand to display the status of blocked ports. When used without
operands, the --show option displays all Management Information Base (MIB) objects and associated
traps that are supported in Fabric OS.
NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
