maxTrapsPerWindow
Module: LMS-TRAP-FORWARDING-MIB
OID (symbolic): LMS-TRAP-FORWARDING-MIB::maxTrapsPerWindow
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.334.3.2.2.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: The maximum number of traps to be forwarded in the time interval expressed in the trapWindowTime variable. Used to prevent a 'trap storm' caused by a rapidly recurring error condition.
What is maxTrapsPerWindow?
This sets the maximum number of traps that will be forwarded to a destination within the time interval defined by trapWindowTime. An admin lowers this value to suppress trap storms from a rapidly recurring error condition, since any traps beyond this count within the window get dropped rather than forwarded and are counted in numDroppedMaxPerWindowTraps. For example, setting maxTrapsPerWindow to 10 alongside a 60-second trapWindowTime would cap forwarding at 10 traps per minute even if the underlying error condition fires dozens of times.
