3502.0. "specific traps supported by DC900MX/FDDI mib?" by SNOFS1::63496::CHIUANDREW () Wed May 01 1996 23:51

    Hi,
    
    After reading notes 2575/1101 and some other related notes, I still
    cannot find answers to my questions, so..
    
    Could someone point me where I get the enterprise specific traps
    supported by DECconcentrator900MX (as stated in note 1101.3), I browse
    the dec_elan_vendor_mib_v30 mib from digital ftp server, it seems there
    is nothing about enterprise specific traps sent from DC900MX).
    Secondly, will DC900MX send out trap when M-port become standny or
    switch from standby to active when connecting to dual-home DAS FDDI
    device? What is the lates FDDI mib supported by DC900MX?
    
    
    thanks advance for help!

I hope you aren't in a hurry for this information.  I'll have to dig for
it.  I *will* post a response this week.

Andrew,

most of the answers to your questions are in the installation manual and the
firmware release notes.

Look at the variable esysFddiPortTrapSwitch in the ELAN_vendor_mib_v30 (or V29)

You setup traps using the module specific option in the setup port.

Shawn will correct me if I am wrong 8-)

Traps supported 
----------------
        Generic Trap    0       1       2       3       4       5       6

(3) The DECconcentrator900 supports an "Enterprise Specific" port
    trap.  "Enterprise Specific" traps are non-standard traps.
    The port trap conveys information about the change of an FDDI
    port's state.  For example, a "disconnecting" port causes a
    port trap to be sent.  Another trap is sent when the port is
    "connecting".

    The port traps is disabled by default.  It may be enabled by
    the setup port module specific options (enable/disable SNMP Port Traps)
    Or by using an NMS to set esysFddiPortTrapSwitch.
    The installation and Configuration Manual describes also the traps
    supported.


- From V3.2 release notes:
-------------------------
 The DECconcentrator 900MX module supports the following MIBs and RFCs:

     o Built-in SNMP agent supports the following  management information 
       bases (MIBs):

        - MIB II, RFC 1213
        - FDDI MIB, RFC 1512
        - Digital Extended MIB V3.0
        - PCOM MIB, June 1995

     o Support for SMT 7.3 Station Management (X3.229-1994)


o Port State Trap Not Saved If Set Via the Setup Port

    In firmware version V3.1, if port traps were enabled via the setup port, 
    their state was not saved in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). 
    Therefore, if a DECconcentrator MX were reset, 
    port traps were reset to the default state of disabled. However, if port 
    traps were enabled via an network management station (NMS) by setting the 
    Vendor management information base (MIB) object 
    esysFDDIPortTrapSwitch, the new state was stored in NVRAM and retained 
    across resets.

    In firmware version V3.2, the port trap state is retained in NVRAM when 
    it is set via the setup port or from an NMS.

A TRAP-TYPE definition will be put into the next version of the ELAN
MIB describing this trap.  The definition will look a lot like this:

portTrap TRAP-TYPE
    ENTERPRISE  <oid of the concentrator>
    VARIABLES   { fddimibPORTConnectState }
    DESCRIPTION
        "Indicates that a concentrator port underwent a state change."
    ::= 1

I dunno.  Does the port state change when this happens?  If it does,
then yes, a trap will be sent.

>What is the lates FDDI mib supported by DC900MX?

rfc1512.
