3683.0. "TCP/IP traps/events" by AEOEN1::TUAUX (Sylviane) Thu Sep 03 1992 11:43
Hi,
With the new features of TCP/IP SNMP AM V1.2, traps can be logged using the
Getevent directives.
Traps can belong to the following class:
coldStart,warmStart,linkdown,linkup,authentificationfailure,
egpNeighborLoss and enterpriseSpecific.
In a private MIB extension, how an enterpriseSpecific Trap, must be defined in
ASN.1 :
-- To be translated correctly by the TCP/IP translator utility
-- To be logged as an enterpriseSpecific Trap by the getevent directive
I read the RFC 1215 which defines the TRAP-TYPE ASN.1 Macro, but SNMP AM V1.2
doesn't support this RFC.
So should I define enterpriseSpecific Traps in the MIB extention as OBJECT-TYPE?
In this case, how SNMP AM will recognize them as traps ?
thanks and regards
Sylviane

Sylviane,
The SNMP AM in V1.2 will handle vendor specific traps as any
other generic trap. The trap type will be enterpriseSpecific
with an associated specific trap number. None of the mib variables
sent back in the trap pdu will be displayed, however.
Your problem is that with this restriction, how to display all
the information in an enterprise specific trap through MCC ?
My suggestion would be to wait for V1.3, which does implement
RFC 1215. The correct approach to take would be to define your
traps according to RFC 1215 so at least other management stations
can make use of it in the mean time. Hacking up you mib to use the
OBJECT-TYPE macro will not do the job, and you'll have to change
it back to use the TRAP-TYPE macro once V1.3 is out.
Rahul.
