Chapter 1, Fabric Watch notification types
swFabricWatchTrap severity
On page 9, “SNMP traps,” a severity description for “swFabricWatch Trap severity,” is missing. For
complete information about the swFabricWatch Trap severity, please refer to the following sections
in the Fabric OS MIB Reference Guide, part number: 53-1001768-01:
• “Understanding SNMP basics”
• “Loading Brocade MIBs”
• Table 14: SW-MIB Traps
SNMP trap counters
The following SNMP information will be added in the next release of Fabric Watch:
• When a counter is in the “in-between” state, Fabric Watch sends an informational SNMP trap.
(See “In-between buffer values” on page 48 for an explanation of the concepts of “in-between”
boundaries and high and low thresholds.)
• When a counter is above the high threshold or below the low threshold, Fabric Watch sends a
warning SNMP trap except for the power supply area of the environment class, CPU, and
memory:
• The severity of a Fabric Watch SNMP trap for the power supply area of the environment
class will always be informational except when the counter value is below the low
threshold. When the counter value of the power supply is below threshold, Fabric Watch
sends a warning SNMP trap.
• The severity of a Fabric Watch SNMP trap for CPU and memory will always be
informational.
