1.18.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before sending traps in Inform mode, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete
the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
In SNMP, a managed device propagates the alarms to the NM Station in two modes:
l
Trap: In this mode, the NM Station need not return acknowledgment messages. This mode
is not reliable.
l
Inform: In this mode, the NM Station must return acknowledgment messages. If receiving
no acknowledgment messages in a certain period, the managed device re-propagates the
alarms. This mode is of higher reliability.
The Informing mode supports alarm logging. When the communication between the NM Station
and the managed device fails, the object can log the alarm. After the fault is rectified, the NM
Station synchronizes the alarm with the alarm log on the managed device to avoid failure
information loss.
The Informing mode applies to the large-scale network as well as the scenario where high
reliability of the NM Station is required.
