TPT-SMS-TRAP-MIB

Description: Defines TippingPoint Security Management System SNMP trap objects for centralized event notification.

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.

TPT-SMS-TRAP-MIB is a Trend Micro/TippingPoint MIB defining the SNMP trap (notification) objects sent to and from the Security Management System (SMS), the centralized console that manages fleets of TippingPoint IPS appliances. It exposes fault/event-category data — the notification definitions themselves — rather than polled counters, covering conditions the SMS needs to report to (or receive from) managed devices and upstream management stations. Its role in monitoring is about centralized software/operational status: these traps are how the SMS surfaces device or system-level events (such as connectivity loss to a managed appliance, policy distribution results, or SMS-level faults) to an NMS or security operations console. It is TippingPoint/Trend Micro proprietary and is closely tied to the companion TPT-SMSMIBS module that defines the SMS's own managed object tree. It is deployed in environments running the TippingPoint Security Management System to centrally administer multiple IPS appliances. Engineers can download the TPT-SMS-TRAP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No specific object or table names were provided in the source excerpt for this module, so concrete identifiers cannot be cited, but based on its description it defines notifications sent to/from an SMS box. A security operations team would subscribe to these traps in an NMS to be alerted when the SMS detects a managed IPS device going unreachable or when a policy push to devices fails, without needing to continuously poll every managed appliance.
