RE: [nv-l] Cat6509 link down/up trap

["Catalina Martinez" <Catalina.Martinez@tlc.state.tx.us>]

Are the Cisco 6509s configured to send out link up/down traps? 

I know that we had to enable these traps on the switches in order for
Netview to receive the traps..

Subject: [nv-l] Cat6509 link down/up trap

Hello all. Netview 7.1 on Solaris8

I'm not receiving link down/up traps from hour Cisco cat6509's (version
12.1(11)E1). Bellow is part of the configuration of my trapd.conf under
/usr/OV/conf/C

I'am asumming that Cisco link down/up traps are generic to all Catalyst
switches. Do I have to load a particular MIB for Cat6509 link traps?

I want to be sure that Netview is configured properly before checking
the
switches configuration again. 


Cisco_Link_Down {1.3.6.1.4.1.9} 2 0 A 1 0 "Status Events"
Cisco_Link_Down trap received from enterprise $E with $# arguments:
ifIndex=$1;  ifDescr=$2;  ifType=$3;  locIfReason=$4
SDESC
This event occurs when the Cisco agent detects an interface has gone
down.
linkDown Trap signifies that the sending protocol entity recog
nizes a failure in one of the communication links represented in the
agent's configuration.

Cisco_Link_Up {1.3.6.1.4.1.9} 3 0 A 1 0 "Status Events"
Cisco_Link_Up trap received from enterprise $E with $# arguments:
ifIndex=$1;  ifDescr=$2;  ifType=$3;  locIfReason=$4
SDESC
This event occurs when the Cisco agent detects an interface has come
back
up. linkUp trap signifies that the sending protocol entity reco
gnizes that one of the communication links represented in the agent's
configuration has come up.

Thanks for any help.
