What Is NSCTRAP?

NSCTRAP is a vendor-specific SNMP MIB module from NSC that defines the trap (notification) catalog used to signal fault, status-change, and threshold-crossing events on NSC network devices. Rather than exposing polled counters or configuration tables itself, it standardizes the set of asynchronous alarm messages a device can emit, spanning hardware faults, operational state transitions, and performance-threshold breaches. In a hardware/software monitoring context this module is central to alerting: it is how an NSC device proactively reports conditions like component failure, status flapping, or a metric crossing a configured limit, rather than requiring constant polling. As a trap-definition module it typically depends on standard SNMPv2-SMI/SNMPv2-TC conventions for NOTIFICATION-TYPE objects and likely complements a separate NSC MIB that defines the polled objects referenced in trap varbinds. It is deployed wherever NSC equipment is managed by an NMS configured as a trap receiver for real-time fault alerting, making the NSCTRAP MIB a key reference for interpreting these fault notifications.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NSCTRAP. 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

  • device fault events
  • status change notifications
  • threshold-crossing alerts

Supported Devices

  • NSC network device
  • vendor-specific (NSC) network equipment

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module, and it appears to consist solely of trap/notification definitions rather than a polled object tree, so no specific table or object names can be cited. A monitoring scenario would involve an NMS trap receiver where an NSCTRAP notification (e.g., a threshold-crossing or fault trap) triggers an alert workflow, but the exact varbinds and severities cannot be confirmed without the MIB source.

NTF protocolBound1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.1A protocolBound trap is sent when a protocol is bound to an interface.
NTF protocolUnbound1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.2A protocolBound trap is sent when a protocol is unbound from an interface.
NTF physicalLinkUp1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.3A physicalLinkUp trap is sent for devices that represent both a logical and physical device. The physicalLinkUp trap is sent when the physical device becomes active. The SNMP linkUp is sent when the logical device becomes active.
NTF physicalLinkDown1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.4A physicalLinkDown trap is sent for devices that represent both a logical and physical device. The physicalLinkDown trap is sent when the physical device becomes not active. The SNMP linkDown is sent when the logical device becomes not active.
NTF fddiWrap1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.5A FDDI wrap trap indicates that a FDDI ring is broken and the signal path wraps through a device and out the parallel fiber. The trap also occures when the wrapped condition is relieved.
NTF vcpActive1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.6This trap indicates that a VCP physical link just came up.
NTF vcpInactive1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.7This trap indicates that a VCP physical link just went down.
NTF vcpReconfig1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.8This trap indicates that a VCP physical link is reconfiguring.
NTF vcpBroken1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.9This trap indicates that a VCP physical link lost connection with its remote end.
NTF vcpMisconfigured1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.10This trap indicates that a VCP physical link has detected different configuration on the remote end.
NTF decNetCircDownFault1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.407This trap shows that a fault has brought down the indicated DECnet circuit.
NTF decNetCircDown1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.408This trap indicates that the named DECnet circuit is down. (This trap is not supported.)
NTF decNetCircUp1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.410This trap indicates that a DECnet circuit has become enabled.
NTF decNetNodeReachChg1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.414This trap reports a change in the nodes that can be reached. (This trap is not supported.)
NTF decNetAdjUp1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.415This trap indicates that a DECnet adjacent node just has come up.
NTF decNetAdjRejected1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.416This trap indicates that an adjacent node has been rejected of communication, or become inactive. The reason could be either the numbers of broadcast (non)routers or the address of a node exceeds the ones in the router's configuartion.
NTF decNetAreaReachChg1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.417This trap reports a change in the areas that can be reached. (This trap is not supported.)
NTF decNetAdjDown1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.418This trap indicates that a adjacent node has come down or lost.
NTF decNetDesignatedRouter1.3.6.1.4.1.10.2.2.4.0.422This trap reports a change in the designated router.
