Proprietary Traps

This section provides information on proprietary SNMP traps supported by the device. There is a separation between traps that are alarms and traps that are not (i.e., logs). All traps have the same structure made up of the same 16 varbinds (Variable Binding), i.e., 1.3.6.1.4.1.5003.9.10.1.21.1. For a list of the varbinds, see Trap Varbinds.

The source varbind is composed of a string that details the device component from which the trap is being sent (forwarded by the hierarchy in which it resides). For example, an alarm from an SS7 link has the following string in its source varbind: acBoard#1/SS7#0/SS7Link#6. The SS7 link number is specified as 6 and is part of the only SS7 module in the device that is placed in slot number 1 (in a chassis) and is the module to which this trap relates. For devices where there are no chassis options, the slot number is always 1.

Full proprietary trap definitions and trap varbinds are found in AcBoard MIB and AcAlarm MIB.
