SNMP Traps
FastSwitch supports SNMP traps for Link Down (possible illegal cable disconnect) or when an
illegal MAC adress is detected. When detected, a standard SNMP alarm trap will be sent to a trap
destination address configured in the FastSwitch device. The port at which the security breach was
detected will be included in the trap message.
All traps are queued for up to four trap hosts and are kept on the queue until IP connectivity to the
trap host is verified. The last ten traps for each trap host are queued.
Queuing SNMP traps before sending to the trap host greatly improves the trap success in the event
of network outages. Once the network is restored and IP connectivity is verified, the queued trap is
sent.
Each SNMP trap is time-stamped with a relative System Up Time (default) or with GMT, if so
configured (refer to
Monitoring Features
in this chapter).
