G350 traps
A trap is a special condition that exists or an event that occurs within the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
system. Some traps indicate configuration changes or component modifications and are merely
informative. Other traps indicate warning or error conditions that may compromise the performance of
the media gateway. Serious traps trigger alarms which are communicated to an alarm management site.

This chapter describes the set of traps that are defined for the Avaya G350 Media Gateway.
Alarm format
Avaya G350 Media Gateways (serving either as standalone port networks, or as port networks within an
IP or a Multi-Connect system) report alarms to the primary server (either an S8300, S8500, or S8700
Media Server) using SNMP traps. Like the primary server’s own alarms, alarms from an Avaya G350
Media Gateway:
•
Reside in the primary server’s alarm log
•
Can be viewed using the SAT command
display alarms
•
Can be viewed using the Web Interface Display Alarms option
However, the format of these displayed alarms is slightly different. Using the G350 MO’s Event ID #1 as
an example, a displayed G350 alarm has the following format:
n CMG 1 WRN 07/17/2002:13:45 121.1.1.2:cmgMultipleFanFault
Within the previous alarm-display string, the value:
•
“n” is a sequential alarm ID.
•
“CMG” identifies an Avaya G350 Media Gateway as the MO.
•
“1” is the event’s ID.
This table also contains each alarm’s corresponding SNMP trap ID in the 2nd column of
on page 294. However, many of the MIB-defined traps have been excluded, either
because:
— A specific trap (such as Trap #3) is the SNMP mechanism to clear an alarm logged by
another specific trap (in this case, Trap #2).
— The specific event indicated by a trap is not severe enough to justify an entry in the
primary server’s alarm log.
— A trap is defined, but not implemented.
— A trap # is reserved for future use.
•
“WRN” is the event’s severity (5th column of
Table 159, G350 Traps and Resolutions,
294).
•
“07/17/2002:13:45” is the event’s date and time stamp.
