860.0. "Where to find documented traps?" by HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG (Faraday Chong@hgo 852-8053590) Fri Mar 25 1994 08:54

    We need to produce a writeup on managing DEChub 900 using a network
    management station (ie not HUBwatch), where can we find documentation
    of all traps generated by DEChub 900 MultiSwitch, DECconcentrator
    900MX, DECbridge 900MX, and DECrepeater 900TM? Also DEChub ONE
    DECrepeater 900TM?

860.1DECagent 90 V2.0 trapsROGER::GAUDETBecause the Earth is 2/3 waterFri Mar 25 1994 09:3192
I can't speak for the DEChub 900, but the DECagent 90 V2.0 supports the
following:

--
-- DECagent 90 Trap Definitions
--
--      The following SNMP generic traps are supported by the DECagent 90:
--
--          coldStart(0)
--          warmStart(1)
--          authenticationFailure(4)
--
--      The DECagent 90 also generates the enterpriseSpecific(6) traps defined
--      below.

860.2In the works.QUIVER::GALLAGHERMon Mar 28 1994 10:2114
I've been asked to produce a document describing just that:  all traps
generated by the DEChub 900 and it's line cards.  I hope to begin the
document at the end of this week.  

The short answer, by the way, is that all modules generate the standard
traps (coldStart, warmStart, linkUp, linkDown, and authFailure) both
when inserted into the DEChub900 and when standalone.  In addition,
the concentrator generates "enterprise specific" port traps the repeater
generates some repeaters mib traps, and the bridge generates some bridge
MIB traps.  Other traps are planned for the June/July release.

Watch this space for more details.

860.3How about Power Supply traps?HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONGFaraday Chong@hgo 852-8053590Mon Mar 28 1994 11:427
    re .2
    
    Would there be traps related to Power Supply? eg, a Power Supply unit
    has failed, a Power Supply unit has been added, a module has been power
    off due to insufficient Power Supply, etc...

860.4No enterprise specific traps.QUIVER::GALLAGHERMon Mar 28 1994 19:5221

No, not for this release.  There are no "enterprise-specific" traps supported
in the next release.  There are no "module insertion", "module removal",
"power supply insertion", etc., traps supported in the April release.

However, you can poll objects in the chassis mib to determine when modules 
and power supplies come and go.  Traps augment polling schemes and are not
needed for effective network management.

We hope to have RMON Alarm and Event support in the following release 
(June/July?).  Our MIBs allow RMON A&E to be used to trap on your first two 
examples, but I don't think we have the MIB object(s) to trap when a module 
has been powered off due to insufficient power.

Note 580.2 describes some of the capabilities of RMON A&E.  (580.2 was
entered when I thought we'd support RMON A&E on the MAM in the April release.
It just didn't work out that way.)

860.5Brief description of DEChub900 traps.QUIVER::GALLAGHERTue Mar 29 1994 18:5164
The following table shows which generic (aka "standard") traps are
supported by which DEChub900 MAX modules by the April-94 release:

    +-----------------+--------+--------+-------+-------+-------+
    |                 | Bridge | Concen | Rprtr | Srvr  | Mgmt  |
    | Trap Type       | 900MX  | 900MX  | 900TM | 900TM | Agent |
    +-----------------+--------+--------+-------+-------+-------|
    | ColdStart       |   x    |   x    |   x   |   x   |   x   |
    | WarmStart       |        |   x    |       |       |       |
    | LinkUp          |        |   x    |       |   x   |   x   |
    | LinkDown        |        |   x    |       |   x   |   x   |
    | AuthenFailure   |   x    |   x    |   x   |   x   |   x   |
    | EGPNeighbor     |        |        |       |       |       |
    +-----------------+--------+--------+-------+-------+-------+

This table shows what traps will be supported by the Summer-94 release:

    +-----------------+--------+--------+-------+-------+-------+
    |                 | Bridge | Concen | Rprtr | Srvr  | Mgmt  |
    | Trap Type       | 900MX  | 900MX  | 900TM | 900TM | Agent |
    +-----------------+--------+--------+-------+-------+-------|
    | ColdStart       |   x    |   x    |   x   |   x   |   x   |
    | WarmStart       |        |   x    |       |       |       |
    | LinkUp          |   x    |   x    |   x   |   x   |   x   |
    | LinkDown        |   x    |   x    |   x   |   x   |   x   |
    | AuthenFailure   |   x    |   x    |   x   |   x   |   x   |
    | EGPNeighbor     |        |        |       |       |       |
    +-----------------+--------+--------+-------+-------+-------+

In addition to the generic traps shown above:

  - The DECrepeater900TM (and the "next wave" repeaters) support
    the following repeater MIB traps:

        o  rptrResetEvent - sent when the repeater's state machine
               is reset, and
        o  rptrHealthTrap - sent when the value of rptrOperStatus 
               changes, or upon completion of a non-disruptive test.

    (RFC1516 provides further detail about these traps.)

  - The DECconcentrator900MX supports an "Enterprise Specific" port
    trap.  "Enterprise Specific" traps are non-standard traps.  
    The port trap conveys information about the change of an FDDI
    port's state.  For example, a "disconnecting" port causes a
    port trap to be sent.  Another trap is sent when the port is
    "connecting".  Other state changes also cause port traps.  

    The port traps is disabled by default.  It may be enabled by 
    setting the esysFddiPortTrapSwitch.  The release notes for the 
    DECconcentrator900MX provide additional detail.

Also of note:

  - Most products don't have the capability of warm-starting.
    When reset they re-initialize completely.  WarmStart traps
    need only be supported if warm-start capability is supported.

  - None of the products listed are routers which support the
    Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).  Therefore, none of the
    products support the EGP Neighbor Loss trap.

860.6Any update informationULYSSE::LOUISFri Dec 02 1994 11:5615
Hi ,

Can someone update this topic with new features concerning
the traps sent by all hub modules (features really available) ?

Or perhapps an other pointer on this note or a public directory
is available, so can you let me know ?


Thanks a lot


yves

ps: .5 has a good presentation to have a brief summary.
