Traps and MIBs
SNMP Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-level
protocol used in network management to gather information from network devices.
Each GranDSLAM 4200 runs an SNMP agent that collects data. The network
management station can exercise all the management functions remotely from the
Network Operations Center (NOC).
Traps Overview
Traps inform the NMS of an alert occurring in the system (e.g., threshold
exceeded). Traps are sent at the start and completion of a test or alarm condition.
Traps are configured via a Telnet session, terminal session, or via SNMP, and are
based on community names. Traps are included in the MIB II, Entity, and
GranDSLAM 4200 Enterprise MIB definitions. MIBs can be accessed through the
Paradyne Web site at
