sent to the configured hosts. Traps cannot be configured on a per-host basis. 

Critical error

The following critical errors traps indicate that the ETEP is in an error 

state:
• criticalFailure: Traffic on the device has been halted and the device 

is in a failure state.

• filesystemFailure: Inadequate free space in flash memory.
• temperatureFailure: The ETEP has exceeded the temperature 

threshold for safe operation. 

The following platform warning traps indicate issues that warrant 

immediate attention, but do not put the ETEP in an error state:
• deployFailure: The ETEP encountered a problem while replacing its 

policies.

• certificateManagementWarning: Security certificate management 

encountered an issue of interest to network operators, such as 

failed certificate generation, installation, or validation.

• checkSystemClockWarning: The ETEP detected clock skew that 

may affect policies. System clock synchronization (NTP) should be 

checked as soon as possible.

limits or the syslog daemon is not running.

• ntpMonitorWarning: The ETEP is unable to synchronize with an

in one of two redundant power supplies. 

• rekeyFailure: The ETEP encountered a problem while rekeying 

current policies.

• temperatureWarning: The operating temperature is approaching 

unsafe limits. The device should be checked as soon as possible.
