What Is FLARION-TRAP-MIB?
FLARION-TRAP-MIB is a vendor MIB from Flarion Technologies (a Flash-OFDM mobile broadband technology provider) defining the general SNMP notification/trap framework used across Flarion network element MIBs. It exposes common trap variable bindings rather than a data table, standardizing how fault and event notifications are structured. Its monitoring value is in fault/event detection: each trap carries a timestamp, sequence number, severity, managed-object type and ID, and additional diagnostic info, letting operators detect and correlate fault conditions across Flash-OFDM network elements as they occur, rather than polling ongoing status. Other Flarion-specific MIBs depend on this trap-variable framework to emit consistent, correlated notifications. It was deployed in Flash-OFDM (mobile WiMAX-competitor) wireless network infrastructure operated by carriers using Flarion equipment. FLARION-TRAP-MIB SNMP monitoring is therefore event-driven rather than poll-based, with operators configuring trap receivers to capture fault notifications as they occur.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FLARION-TRAP-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
- Flarion Flash-OFDM mobile broadband network element (base station/radio equipment)
Monitoring Examples
A network management system would subscribe to traps under flarionTraps/flaTraps and parse flaTimeStamp, flaSeqNum, flaSeverity, flaMoType, and flaMoId to identify which managed object (e.g., a base station or radio module) raised a fault and its severity, using flaAddtlInfo for further diagnostic detail. The parallel rrTimeStamp/rrSeqNum/rrSeverity/rrMoType/rrMoId set of variables suggests a second notification category (possibly radio-resource related) carrying the same structured fault information.
What Can Be Monitored
- trap severity level
- managed object type and ID raising the event
- event timestamp and sequence number
- additional fault diagnostic information

FAQ
What information does a FLARION-TRAP-MIB notification carry when a Flarion Flash-OFDM network element hits a fault condition?
Each trap carries a timestamp of when the event was generated, a sequence number, a severity level, the type and ID of the managed object raising the event, and additional diagnostic information -- giving operators a structured way to identify and correlate fault events.
Why would an operator monitoring a Flash-OFDM network rely on FLARION-TRAP-MIB notifications rather than only polling device status?
Because the trap framework standardizes how fault and event conditions are reported across all Flarion network element MIBs, operators can detect and correlate issues as they happen using the timestamp and sequence number in each notification, rather than waiting for the next polling cycle to catch a transient fault.
