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.

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

Supported Devices

  • Fore Systems ForeRunner ATM/LAN switch

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.

OIDs
OID symbolicOID numericTypeAccessDescription
foreTrapLogModule1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.1This 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.
trapLogTable1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2not-accessibleA table consisting of entries with trap information
trapLogEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1not-accessibleA table entry containing a trap number, and some information on the trap.
I32 trapLogIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.1Integer32read-onlyThe sequence number of this trap occurence. This entry uniquely identifies an entry in the trapLogTable
OID trapLogEnterprise1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.2OBJECT IDENTIFIERread-onlyThe enterprise oid of this trap. This used with the trapLogGenericId and trapLogId uniquely identifies the trap type which occured.
TRA trapLogGenericId1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.3TrapNumberread-onlyThe value of this object identifies the generic trap type that occured.
TRA trapLogId1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.4TrapNumberread-onlyThe value of this object identifies the specific trap type that occured.
C32 trapLogXmits1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.5Counter32read-onlyThe number of times this trap was transmitted out on the network to trap destinations.
TIM trapLogLastXmit1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.6TimeStampread-onlyThe sysUptime at which this trap was last transmitted to trap destinations.
C32 trapLogEvents1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.7Counter32read-onlyThe number of times this trap event occured.
TIM trapLogLastEvent1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.2.1.8TimeStampread-onlyThe sysUptime at which this trap event last occured.
trapLogVarTable1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3not-accessibleA table of trap variables corresponding to trap occurences.
trapLogVarEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1not-accessibleA table entry containing informaiton about a trap variable reported for one of the trap occurences.
I32 trapLogVarIndex1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1.1Integer32not-accessibleThe 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 trapLogVarOID1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1.2OBJECT IDENTIFIERread-onlyThis is the OID of the trap variable.
OCT trapLogVarValue1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.3.1.3OCTET STRINGread-onlyThis is the value of the trap variable.
trapThresholdTable1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4not-accessibleA table of thresholds and time periods for the switch traps, which determine when a trap is transmitted to the trap destinations
trapThresholdEntry1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1not-accessibleA table entry containing the trap type and the threshold value and the time period for the trap.
OID trapThresholdTrapEnterprise1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.1OBJECT IDENTIFIERnot-accessibleThe enterprise OID of this trap.
TRA trapThresholdGenericTrapId1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.2TrapNumbernot-accessibleA generic trap type.
TRA trapThresholdTrapId1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.3TrapNumbernot-accessibleAn enterprise specific trap type.
I32 trapThresholdValue1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.4Integer32read-writeThe value of the threshold for the number of trap occurences after which the trap gets sent to the destinations.
NUM trapThresholdTimePeriod1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.1.5TimeIntervalread-writeThis 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.
INT trapThresholdTableReset1.3.6.1.4.1.326.1.9.4.3INTEGERread-writeWhen 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.
