What Is CONTIVITY-TRAPS-V1-MIB?

CONTIVITY-TRAPS-V1-MIB is a Nortel-specific (Bay Networks/Avaya lineage) SNMP module that defines the trap notifications and variable bindings emitted by the Contivity VPN Router, a dedicated IPsec/L2TP VPN concentrator appliance. Rather than exposing pollable counters or configuration tables, it exposes event-driven data: the set of alarm and status-change traps the device can send and the bindings carried in each. In practice this is used to catch hardware and software health events as they happen — tunnel and interface failures, authentication or key-negotiation problems, chassis/hardware faults, and reboot conditions — rather than by periodic polling. It builds on the standard SNMPv2 notification framework and is meant to be paired with Nortel's own Contivity configuration/status MIBs for full context on each event. It is typically deployed in enterprise or service-provider remote-access VPN gateways where an NMS is configured to listen for and correlate these traps into alerts. Engineers can download the CONTIVITY-TRAPS-V1-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CONTIVITY-TRAPS-V1-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Nortel/Avaya Contivity VPN Router (VPN concentrator)

Monitoring Examples

Because this module defines only traps and their bindings rather than a polled MIB tree, there are no gettable runtime tables to walk; monitoring instead means configuring the NMS as a trap receiver for the Contivity Router's notifications. A typical scenario is an operator watching for a tunnel-down or hardware-alarm trap firing when an IPsec tunnel drops or a power/fan fault occurs on the concentrator, using the bound variables in the trap to identify the affected tunnel or component. Because no sample runtime objects were provided for this module, it would be inaccurate to invent specific table or object names beyond noting it is trap-only.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VPN tunnel up/down events
  • hardware/chassis alarm conditions
  • authentication or key-negotiation failures
  • system reboot/restart notifications
