REDUND-TRAP-MIB

Description: Defines SNMP trap notifications for redundancy switchover and failover events.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

REDUND-TRAP-MIB is a trap-definitions module focused on hardware/software redundancy events, typically used by network devices that support redundant control planes such as dual supervisor modules, clustered chassis, or active/standby appliance pairs. It does not expose polled configuration or counter objects; instead it defines the structure of SNMP notifications sent when a redundancy switchover, failover, or role transition occurs. Its purpose sits squarely in monitoring hardware/software status: it lets a management station learn in near real time when an active unit has failed over to standby, a strong signal of a hardware fault, software crash, or planned maintenance event affecting system availability. Because it is trap-only, it is normally used alongside other MIBs (chassis/entity MIBs, SNMPv2-MIB) that supply the object identity referenced by the trap varbinds. It is typically deployed on redundant routers, switches, or firewalls where an NMS is configured to alert on these traps for high-availability monitoring. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the REDUND-TRAP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

Since no sample_objects were provided for this module, specific varbind names cannot be confirmed from source; the realistic pattern for a module of this kind is an NMS subscribing to redundancy-switchover traps and alerting whenever an active/standby role transition fires. Frequent, unplanned switchover traps for the same device would reveal recurring hardware instability (e.g., a failing supervisor module) rather than a one-off maintenance event. Because this description is grounded only in the module name and empty object list, it reflects the generic redundancy-trap pattern rather than this file's exact object identifiers.

Defines SNMP trap definitions for monitoring redundancy failures and status changes in network equipment. Provides notifications for degraded fault tolerance and processor card redundancy events.
