ethSwitchMACFilterVioEvent

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ETH-SWITCH-MIB::ethSwitchMACFilterVioEvent

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.0.5

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: Port/MAC filter MAC violation on port: %portIfIndex% This trap is sent when there has been detected a MAC address on a port (portIfIndex), where this MAC is not allowed access through the switch. Access restriction is due to entry in the Port/MAC filters of the switch.

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> '' ETH-SWITCH-MIB::ethSwitchMACFilterVioEvent
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.0.5

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]:50972->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
