What Is S5-CHASSIS-TRAP-MIB?

S5-CHASSIS-TRAP-MIB is a companion Nortel/Avaya BayStack MIB that defines the SNMP trap (notification) types for chassis-level hardware faults and status changes, complementing the object definitions in S5-CHASSIS-MIB. Rather than exposing pollable data objects, it specifies the trap OIDs an agent emits when chassis hardware state changes, such as component insertion/removal or a fault condition. Its core use is asynchronous fault monitoring: it alerts a management station immediately when a hardware problem occurs on the chassis, complementing periodic polling of the chassis object MIB. It depends directly on S5-CHASSIS-MIB for the underlying chassis identity objects referenced in its trap variable bindings. It is typically deployed in Nortel/Avaya BayStack chassis switch environments where the NMS is configured to receive and act on these hardware fault traps. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the S5-CHASSIS-TRAP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in S5-CHASSIS-TRAP-MIB. 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.

Supported Devices

  • Avaya/Nortel BayStack S5000 series chassis switches

Monitoring Examples

No specific runtime object names are available in the provided source for this module; it only defines trap OIDs (notifications) that fire on chassis hardware fault or status-change events rather than exposing values for direct polling, so the realistic monitoring scenario is an NMS trap receiver reacting to a chassis fault trap rather than polling a table.
