ethSwitchOnlyOneMACEvent

Module: ETH-SWITCH-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.0.2

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: This trap is sent when a port detects more that one MAC address at a port intended for only one MAC. This Trap can only be sent from a Concentrator Switch where only one MAC is allowed, except from the network port. It can NOT be sent from a Backbone Switch since it allows multiple MAC's at all ports. The variable portIfIndex indicates the port where the MAC limit of one has bee exceeded. The problem can be solved by physical moving the MAC to a spare Concentrator Switch port.

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::ethSwitchOnlyOneMACEvent
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.208.39.0.2

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]:53951->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (25328831) 2 days, 22:21:28.31
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = OID: ETH-SWITCH-MIB::ethSwitchOnlyOneMACEvent

Start monitoring Ethernet switch with port/VLAN management (vendor not confirmed) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ETH-SWITCH-MIB::ethSwitchOnlyOneMACEvent OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Ethernet switch with port/VLAN management (vendor not confirmed) from a single console.
