Enabling Link Notifications
By default, notifications for link state changes are disabled. If you enable
them, SNMP link traps are sent when the port state changes, and 3WXM
also polls and monitors the status of the port. To generate the LinkDown

You also must globally enable SNMP traps. See “Configuring a
