Module: PRVT-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::portSecurityViolation

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.0.4

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: The port security violation notification indicates that a port security violation has been detected, e.g more MAC adresses have been learned on that port than the number allowed.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' PRVT-SWITCH-MIB::portSecurityViolation
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.100.0.4

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:65335->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (437257015) 50 days, 14:36:10.15
