What Is NSC-BORDERGUARD-TRAP?
NSC-BORDERGUARD-TRAP is a trap-definition MIB from Network Systems Corporation (NSC) for the BorderGuard security gateway/router product line, defining SNMP notifications for security and software-integrity events. It defines traps covering software image validation problems (bad image), current running image identification, file system corruption, and soft (recoverable) fault conditions, along with a reason code describing each event. This MIB is oriented toward software/firmware status monitoring via event notification: it alerts operators in real time when a BorderGuard device detects a corrupted or invalid software image, a damaged file system, or an internal soft fault, all critical software-integrity indicators for a security gateway. As a trap-only module tied to a specific device family, it depends on the corresponding BorderGuard configuration/status MIB for the underlying object values referenced in trap varbinds. The NSC-BORDERGUARD-TRAP MIB is deployed wherever NSC BorderGuard security gateways are integrated into a centralized fault-management system for immediate alerting on firmware or filesystem integrity issues.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NSC-BORDERGUARD-TRAP. 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
- bad/invalid software image events
- current running image identity
- file system corruption events
- soft fault events and reason codes
Supported Devices
- Network Systems Corporation (NSC) BorderGuard security gateway/router
Monitoring Examples
A management station configured as a trap receiver would capture nscBorderGuardTrapsBadImage when the device detects that a stored software image has failed validation, with nscBorderGuardTrapsCurrentImage identifying which image is actually running so operators can confirm whether the device failed over to a backup image. The nscBorderGuardTrapsBadFileSystem trap flags file system corruption requiring reformatting or reimaging, while nscBorderGuardTrapsSoftFault combined with nscBorderGuardTrapsEventReason narrows down the type of recoverable internal fault the gateway experienced. Since this module defines only notifications rather than a polling table, there is no ongoing polling scenario — it is purely an event-driven alerting mechanism.
