Table 3.24 SNMP Configuration Options
Option Description
Analog Trap
Varbinds
This feature is used for communication to an NMS via SNMP Traps.
The default adds the Value, UOM (Unit of Measure), and Label fields to the
message.
Label Only: Sends only the label on analog Traps. This makes analog Traps the
same format as digital Traps, which may make parsing the Traps easier for the
NMS.
Default: Value/UOM/Label
Trap Type
AlarmEntryAdded: This setting simplifies configuration of the NMS, since the
NMS only needs to be configured for a couple Traps.
• An “AlarmEntryAdded” Trap will be sent anytime a new alarm is added to the
Alarm History log. The “AlarmEntryAdded” Trap contains the Alarm Label. The
NMS can receive this Trap and extract and display the Alarm Label.
• An “AlarmEntryRemoved” Trap (also contains the Alarm Label) will be sent
anytime a Return to Normal Alarm is added to the Alarm History log.
PortTraps: This option requires more configuration at the NMS, but may make it
easier to display, set severity, and parse the data in the NMS. This option enables
two Traps per RIM-1000 input:
• “PortxxTrap” which is sent when an input goes into alarm
• “PortxxTrapClear” which is sent when the input returns to normal.
Default: AlarmEntryAdded
