About Traps Recording
PowerDsine PowerView includes an internal SNMP trap handler which records
SNMP traps addressed to it. A trap is sent when the status of a device changes.
Traps are unsolicited messages, such as a port sensing its PD was
disconnected or main AC power switching to standby (DC power source).
Figure 4-7 displays a number of traps recorded by the application program. The
individual trap listings compose a file started the moment PowerDsine
PowerView initates the connection between the PoL unit agent and the SNMP
manager. File content is limited to 5000 messages.
Once the connection is terminated, this log file is erased. The operator can
choose to copy the file at any time.
Note
Communication problems of the managed device with the manager will be
indicated by
Red
error messages.
