3551.0. "confused trap on 900MX concentrator" by COMICS::BILLINGJ () Thu May 23 1996 13:15

    Hello,
    
    Can anyone tell me if there is a bug in the DEC 900 MX concentrators
    traps ?
    
    I have been talking to a customer who recieves the following trap 
    from his 900 MX concentrator using Polycenter netview. 
    
    mgmt.mib-2.transmission.fddi.73.5.2.1.20.1.5 (Integer) : 2
    
    I've managed to break this down almost to completion using the rfc1512,
    but cannot deceipher the 1.5 on the end.
    
    mgmt.mib-2.transmission.fddi.fddimib.fddimibPORT.fddimibPORTTable.
                                   73         5              2
    
    fddimibPORTEntry.fddimibPORTConnectState
            1                 20
    
    I believe the next bit (ie the integer value part) to mean Break 
    
    
    This just leaves the 1.5 on the end.
    
    Is this a bug or do they stand for something ?
    Has this been amended in a particular version of the firmware ?
    
    Thanks
    
    Jan Billing

This is indeed fddimibPORTConnectState.  The .1 and .5 comprise the instance.

Entries in the fddimibPORTTable are indexed by fddimibPORTSMTIndex
and fddimibPORTIndex.

fddimibPORTSMTIndex is the 1.  fddimibPORTIndex is the 5.

This indicates the port 5 underwent a connect state change.  The value
associated with this object indicates exactly what the state change went
to.

The trap is called a port trap. This is not a bug - it's a feature - really.

If you don't think it's a feature, turn it off using the object in the
elan MIB.  (Let me know if you want to do this and I'll look it up.)
