8.11.1 Field Descriptions

Following are descriptions of the fields in Table 8-10.

8.12 Trap Table

The Trap table is used to control which events trigger the Remote Manager to generate an SNMP trap. The ACMS Remote Manager populates this table from the configuration file at system startup. Thereafter, users make modifications to this table through either the SNMP interface or the ACMSMGR interface.

The primary key to this table is the combination of entity, name, and parameter. Duplicate rows are not allowed.

8.12.1 Field Descriptions

Following are descriptions of the fields in Table 8-11.

8.12.2 Valid Trap Minimums and Maximums

Table 8-12 lists the values that can be specified as the minimum or maximum for each parameter type.

Table 8-12 Trap Minimums and Maximums
Parameter Value Meaning Valid for These Entities
EVENT_SEVERITY 1 1 Informational MGR
  2 1 Warning MGR
  4 1 Error MGR
  8 1 Fatal MGR
  --1 2 Ignore this field. MGR
EXISTS 0 3 Stopped ACC, CP, EXC, QTI, TSC
  1 4 Started ACC, CP, EXC, QTI, TSC
  --1 2 Ignore this field. ACC, CP, EXC, QTI, TSC


1When configuring alarms for event severities, remember how the values are evaluated. For example, specifying the value 8 (FATAL) as a minimum results in an alarm being generated by all lesser severities. Simlarly, specifying the value 1 (INFO) as a maximum results in an alarm being generated by all greater severities.
2The value of -1 causes the field to be ignored. When configuring traps, it is not always desirable to specify both minimum and maximum values. The value -1 can be used as a null placeholder when either value is to be ignored.
3When specified as a maximum, this value causes an alarm to be generated whenever the associated entity type and name is started. This value can be used, for example, to signal when the QTI has been started on a node on which it should not run.
4When specified as a minimum, this value causes an alarm to be generated whenever the associated entity type and name is stopped. This value can be used, for example, to signal when a particular application has been stopped.

8.12.3 SNMP Trap Format

The following is the format of an SNMP trap message. Note that the message is generated as an ASCII string. Fields within the string are separated by a colon.

time: severity: entity_type: entity_name: parameter: value

In this format:

8.13 TSC Table

The TSC table contains a single entry for TSC management information.
