What Is EXTREME-TRAPPOLL-MIB?

EXTREME-TRAPPOLL-MIB is an Extreme Networks proprietary MIB implementing "SmartTraps" trap-based polling, a feature on ExtremeXOS switches that periodically polls certain conditions and generates traps when thresholds or state changes occur. It exposes configuration objects for defining which conditions/objects are polled, at what interval, and how resulting trap notifications are generated. As a monitoring-configuration MIB, it lets an administrator configure and verify automated polling of device conditions -- effectively a meta-monitoring capability that turns periodic status checks, which could include port state or resource thresholds, into proactive trap notifications, reducing the need for constant manual polling. It is a self-contained Extreme Networks proprietary extension but functionally depends on whatever underlying MIB objects are configured as poll targets, since it wraps arbitrary OIDs with polling and trap-generation logic. It is typically deployed on Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS switches where administrators want the switch itself to proactively notify the NMS of state changes on selected objects rather than relying solely on external polling. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the EXTREME-TRAPPOLL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EXTREME-TRAPPOLL-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.

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module. An administrator would typically configure a poll target OID, polling interval, and threshold/trigger condition, then rely on the resulting SmartTraps notification to be alerted automatically when the polled condition changes state, avoiding the need for the NMS to continuously poll that object itself, though specific object names cannot be cited here.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
extremeTrapPoll	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6			Extreme SmartTraps trap-based-polling objects
extremeSmartTrapRulesTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1		not-accessible	A table of rules that are used to generate extremeSmartTraps.
extremeSmartTrapRulesEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1		not-accessible	Each row in the table represents a rule.
INT extremeSmartTrapRulesIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	An index into the extremeSmartTraps rules table.
ROW extremeSmartTrapRulesRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1.2	RowStatus	read-create	Indicates the status of row.
OID extremeSmartTrapRulesDesiredOID	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1.3	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-create	The OID for which the rule is desired. When the OID specified by this object undergoes an operation specified by extremeSmartTrapRulesOperation, then an entry in the extremeSmartTrapInstanceTable is created.
OID extremeSmartTrapRulesSupportedOID	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1.4	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-only	The OID for which this entry is created. This is based on the granularity supported by the agent corresponding to the extremeSmartTrapRulesDesiredOID that the management station desires. This object has a value that is a prefix of, or is equal to the value of ExtremeSmartTrapRulesDesiredOID. The agent specifes this value before setting the extremeSmartTrapRulesRowStatus to active.
INT extremeSmartTrapRulesOperation	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-create	The write operations on extremeSmartTrapRulesDesiredOID for which extremeSmartTrapsInstanceEntry should be created.
I32 extremeSmartTrapRulesTrapDestIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.1.1.6	Integer32	read-create	A pointer to a row in RMON2's trapDestTable that was created by the management station that defined this rule. Any extremeSmartTraps generated by this agent due to this rule will be sent to the trapDestCommunity/ trapDestAddress and will include trapDestOwner specified by this trapDestTable entry. This also allows a manager to identify if the rule was defined by itself, or by another (possibly older) instance of the management server process. The manager should initiate a poll only for traps received which indicate its own rules. Subprocesses within a single manager might also uniquely create their own entries within trapDestTable using different trapDestOwner strings: when a trap is received, the manager can authenticate if the trap was generated due to one of its rules and route the notification to the appropriate subprocess.
extremeSmartTrapInstanceTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2		not-accessible	A table representing containing information about which variables have changed according to the rules defined in extremeSmartTrapRulesTable.
extremeSmartTrapInstanceEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2.1		not-accessible	An entry corresponding to a change in value of one of the OIDs defined in extremeSmartTrapRulesTable. Entries are indexed by a pointer to the relevant row in RMON2 trapDestTable that a manager created in order to receive trap notifications of these events. Entries are created in this table whenever the value of one of the OIDs defined by extremeSmartTrapRulesSupportedOID changes. Entries are deleted when a get or get-next operation is performed on that entry. A get operation for a non-existent entry returns a noSuchInstance error.
INT extremeSmartTrapInstanceSubindex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	An additional index into the table of extremeSmartTrap instance data. Each row which has the same OID for the same management station (i.e. same cookie) is assigned a unique value by the agent in order to differentiate between multiple instances.
INT extremeSmartTrapInstanceRule	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	The index of the rule from the extremeSmartTrapRulesTable for which this entry was created.
OID extremeSmartTrapInstanceChangedOid	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2.1.3	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-only	The OID value that has changed.
INT extremeSmartTrapInstanceActualOperation	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	The operation that was recently performed on this extremeSmartTrapInstanceChangedOid.
TIK extremeSmartTrapInstanceChangeTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.2.1.5	TimeTicks	read-only	The sysUpTime when this entry was created.
INT extremeSmartTrapFlushInstanceTableIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.6.3	INTEGER	read-write	When this object is set, the agent will delete all rows from the extremeSmartTrapInstanceTable which meet the following rules: 1. The InstanceTableIndex is equal to the value obtained by taking the two most significant bytes of this integer and right-shifting it by two bytes as an unsigned int. 2. The InstanceTableSubIndex is less than or equal to the value obtained by masking this object value with 0x0000FFFF. If the value obtained is zero, then all rows with the specified InstanceTableIndex should be deleted.
