What is fcNameServerEntryAdd?

This notification is sent by the Fibre Channel Name Server whenever a new device entry is registered in its database. The notification includes the device's port name and port type to identify which entity was added. Storage network administrators monitor this trap to track device registration events and ensure proper fabric topology discovery.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' CISCO-NS-MIB::fcNameServerEntryAdd
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.293.1.4.0.3

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:59234->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
