Chapter 10: Traps Summary
10. Traps Summary
The A/B Switch can be configured to issue an SNMP trap when certain events occur. Use the “SET ALERTTYPE” command to
enable traps, and use the “SET MANAGER N X.X.X.X” command to specify the IP addresses of up to 16 different NMS computers
that you want to send these traps to (see Section 7 for details regarding these commands). The following traps are generated by
the A/B Switch. For additional details regarding theses traps, and the SNMP MIB objects supported by the A/B Switch, please
refer to the d1000.mib file supplied with your switch.
generic trap 0 coldStart – issued when the unit is powered up, or after a RESET command
generic trap 4 AuthenticationFailure – issued when an invalid SNMP read/write community name is used when
attempting to access the A/B Switch
specific trap 6 SystemSwitchChange – issued in response to a switching action caused by a user initiated command,
front panel push button action, or remote dry contact closure
specific trap 8 AutoSwitchChange – issued when the A/B Switch automatically changes connection states via the auto
switch feature, or the auto recovery feature
