Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules

The Ethernet MicroLAN module can issue several different traps in response to changes 
in a port’s Source Address Table:

A newSourceAddress trap is generated when a station port – one receiving packets from 
no source addresses, or from one or two source addresses – receives a packet from a 
source address that is not currently in its source address table. Information included in this 
trap includes the module number, port number, and source address associated with the 
trap. Trunk ports – those receiving packets from three or more source addresses – will not 
issue newSourceAddress traps.

A sourceAddressTimeout trap is issued anytime a source address is aged out of the 
Source Address Table due to inactivity. The trap’s interesting information includes the 
module and port index, and the source address that timed out. 

PortTypeChanged traps are issued when a port’s topology status changes from station to 
trunk, or vice versa. The interesting information includes the module and port index, and 
the port’s new topology status.

A lockStatusChanged trap is generated when the ports in the hub are locked or unlocked 
using the Lock/Unlock Ports option on the Repeater menus; the interesting information is 
the new lock status.

PortSecurityViolation and portViolationReset traps are sent in response to changes 
related to port locking: if ports are locked, the portSecurityViolation trap indicates that a 
new source address has attempted access on one of the ports, and the ports are being shut 
down in response; the interesting information is the module and port index, and the 
violating address. PortViolationReset traps are sent when management intervention has 
re-enabled a port or ports previously disabled in response to a port security violation; the 
interesting information is module and port index.

The current status (enabled or disabled) for Link State, Segmentation, and Source Address 
traps will always be displayed in the port-level Trap Selection window. The repeater- and 
board-level windows will display current settings if they are uniform; where settings are 
not uniform at the selected level, the corresponding check box will be gray.

When you configure traps, keep in mind the hierarchy of levels at which you are setting 
traps; for the Ethernet MicroLAN module, traps set at the repeater or board level will 
override current port-level settings for all ports on that repeater channel.
