Configuring SNMP Informs and Traps
SNMP traps and informs are disabled by default. SNMP traps are generated according
to standard and enterprise MIB specifications. The SNMP Agent maintains a
configuration of IP hosts to which traps are sent. This section provides information
for:

Enabling Traps
■
Restricting Trap Rates

Setting Trap Logging Control
Trap logging control allows you to specify which type of trap messages are logged to
which destinations (console, SYSLOG, etc.) - either through the CLI or automatically
through the DOCSIS
docsDevEvControlTable
(refer to Setting Trap Logging
Control on page 4-8
).
In DOCSIS logging control mode, the BSR uses DOCSIS conventions for SYSLOG/
trap forwarding based on the DOCSIS standard. Each individual severity level (1-8)
can be enabled or disabled for trap reporting. This is achieved with the
logging
reporting set of commands.
In proprietary logging control mode, the BSR can be configured to forward SNMP
traps for a specified severity level and higher. This is achieved with the
logging
snmp-trap command. Proprietary logging control mode also provides a separate
threshold for SNMP trap rate throttling with the snmp-server trap rate-limit
command.
Note: Before configuring SNMP traps or informs, the type of logging control
must be specified.
