Description: Fore Systems trap log MIB providing a persistent log of SNMP traps and system events with timestamps for ForeRunner switch auditing.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is Fore-TrapLog-MIB?

Fore-TrapLog-MIB is a Fore Systems vendor MIB providing a persistent, on-device log of SNMP traps and system events for ForeRunner switches. It exposes a trap log summary table, a variable table capturing trap-specific data, and a threshold table defining alert limits for every trap type. Its monitoring emphasis is on fault/event history: trap occurrence counts, last-occurrence and last-transmit timestamps, and per-trap thresholds together function as an audit trail of hardware and software faults the device has raised over time. It works alongside Fore's own standard enterprise trap (SNMPv2-TRAP) definitions rather than replacing them. It is used when managing Fore Systems ForeRunner ATM/LAN switches, giving administrators a retained trap history independent of the NMS's own event log. Administrators who download Fore-TrapLog-MIB typically compile it alongside those standard Fore trap definitions so the trap log tables resolve correctly against the switch's own enterprise trap identifiers.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Fore-TrapLog-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

trapLogTable (trapLogIndex, trapLogEnterprise, trapLogGenericId, trapLogId, trapLogEvents, trapLogLastEvent) lets an admin see how many times a given trap has fired and when it last occurred, while trapLogXmits and trapLogLastXmit show whether that trap was actually delivered to the NMS; a high event count paired with a stale last-transmit time could reveal a trap-throttling or delivery problem masking a recurring hardware fault.

What Can Be Monitored

trap occurrence count and last occurrence time
trap transmission count and last transmit time
per-trap variable data
per-trap-type alert thresholds

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
foreTrapLogModule	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.1			This MIB module defines the FORE Systems specific Log information for Traps. It provides for a Log table, Var table and Threshold table. Each Log table entry contains general information on the traps that occured, number of times and the last time they occured. The Var table contains information on the trap variables reported with specific traps. The Threshold table is a fully populated table which has the thresholds & timeperiods defined for all the traps.
OID trapLogEnterprise	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.2	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-only	The enterprise oid of this trap. This used with the trapLogGenericId and trapLogId uniquely identifies the trap type which occured.
trapLogEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1		not-accessible	A table entry containing a trap number, and some information on the trap.
C32 trapLogEvents	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.7	Counter32	read-only	The number of times this trap event occured.
TRA trapLogGenericId	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.3	TrapNumber	read-only	The value of this object identifies the generic trap type that occured.
TRA trapLogId	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.4	TrapNumber	read-only	The value of this object identifies the specific trap type that occured.
I32 trapLogIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.1	Integer32	read-only	The sequence number of this trap occurence. This entry uniquely identifies an entry in the trapLogTable
TIM trapLogLastEvent	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.8	TimeStamp	read-only	The sysUptime at which this trap event last occured.
TIM trapLogLastXmit	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.6	TimeStamp	read-only	The sysUptime at which this trap was last transmitted to trap destinations.
trapLogTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2		not-accessible	A table consisting of entries with trap information
trapLogVarEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1		not-accessible	A table entry containing informaiton about a trap variable reported for one of the trap occurences.
I32 trapLogVarIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1.1	Integer32	not-accessible	The Variable index. This number identifies the index of this variable in a list of variables reported with one trap occurence. The list of variables are in the order of the variables given in the TRAP definition for this trap.
OID trapLogVarOID	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1.2	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-only	This is the OID of the trap variable.
trapLogVarTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3		not-accessible	A table of trap variables corresponding to trap occurences.
OCT trapLogVarValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1.3	OCTET STRING	read-only	This is the value of the trap variable.
C32 trapLogXmits	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.5	Counter32	read-only	The number of times this trap was transmitted out on the network to trap destinations.
trapThresholdEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1		not-accessible	A table entry containing the trap type and the threshold value and the time period for the trap.
TRA trapThresholdGenericTrapId	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.2	TrapNumber	not-accessible	A generic trap type.
trapThresholdTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4		not-accessible	A table of thresholds and time periods for the switch traps, which determine when a trap is transmitted to the trap destinations
INT trapThresholdTableReset	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.3	INTEGER	read-write	When user sets this object to enable(1), all the threshold table values are reset to default values. The value of this object would be disable(2), after the reconfiguration.
NUM trapThresholdTimePeriod	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.5	TimeInterval	read-write	This value has to be used in conjuntion with the trapThresholdValue. It gives the time period over which the threshold is valid. i.e if trapThresholdValue trap events occur, Or if the time since the last transmission is greater than this object's value, the trap gets transmitted out.
OID trapThresholdTrapEnterprise	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.1	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	not-accessible	The enterprise OID of this trap.
TRA trapThresholdTrapId	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.3	TrapNumber	not-accessible	An enterprise specific trap type.
I32 trapThresholdValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.4	Integer32	read-write	The value of the threshold for the number of trap occurences after which the trap gets sent to the destinations.
