IMPORTANT: During OA failover or other management network disruptions, VC SNMP traps
might not reach the management station.
The VC-FC module generates connUnitPortStatusChange traps based on changes to the connUnitPortStatus
element of the FA-MIB. The following table shows the mapping of connUnitPortStatusChange trap severities
to the VC Domain MIB's trap severity definitions.

Trap categories and required user role permissions
In general, users with domain role permission can perform any SNMP configuration change operations.
Users with network role permission can perform Ethernet configuration change operations, and users with
storage role permission can perform FC configuration change operations. The following table provides a
summary of trap categories and the required administrative privileges.

To enable or disable SNMP on a VC-Enet module, domain or network role permissions are required. To
enable or disable SNMP/SMI-S on a VC-FC module, domain or storage role permissions are required.
Trap severities
The severity of traps sent to each destination can be configured, resulting in only traps of the specified
severities being sent to the destination. The levels are listed below in decreasing order of severity:
