Overview

The IN-tact 1101 SNMP agent is capable of sending out traps (asynchronous notifications) to the 
configured SNMP manager IP addresses. SNMP manager addressing is configured on the 
System Setup > Management screen. See page 24 for details on configuring this option. Each 
trap includes the following fields:

enterprise

Identifies the subsystem that generated the trap. The value is taken from 
sysObjectID in the system group (MIB-II).

agent-addr

The IP address of the object generating the trap.

generic-trap

One of the predefined trap types:

coldStart (0): The sending entry is reinitializing itself so that the agent’s 
configuration or the protocol-entity implementation may be altered. 
Typically, this is an unexpected restart due to a crash or major fault.

warmStart (1): The sending entity is reinitializing itself so that neither the 
agent’s configuration nor the protocol-entity implementation is altered. 
Typically, this is a routine restart.

linkDown (2): Signals a failure in one of the agent’s communication links.

linkUp (3): Signals that one of the agent’s communication links has come 
up.

authenticationFailure (4): Signals that the sending entity has received a 
protocol message that failed authentication.

egpNeighborLoss (5): Signals that an EGP neighbor for which the sending 
protocol entity was an EGP peer has been marked down and the peer 
relationship no longer exists.

enterpriseSpecific (6): Signifies that the sending entity recognizes that 
some enterprise-specific event has occurred. The specific-trap field 
indicates the type of trap. 

specific-trap

A code that more specifically indicates the nature of the trap.
