WS-TRAP-MIB

Description: Defines Symbol Technologies wireless switch SNMP trap notifications for system and wireless infrastructure 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.

WS-TRAP-MIB is a vendor-specific module from Symbol Technologies defining the full set of SNMP trap notifications a Symbol wireless switch (WLAN module) can raise, along with the read-write enable flags controlling which traps are active per module and globally. Rather than exposing polled status counters, it structures event-driven notifications covering system and wireless-infrastructure conditions across the switch's functional modules. Its monitoring value is centered on fault/event detection for both hardware and software conditions on the switch — a properly tuned set of enabled traps lets a NOC be notified immediately of conditions like AP disconnects, hardware faults, or configuration changes rather than having to poll for them. It complements other Symbol WS-* MIBs (such as those defining system, RF, and MSTP status) by carrying the actual event notifications for conditions they define, and it layers its own enable/disable trap-control model on top of standard SNMP notification mechanisms. It is typically deployed in enterprise wireless environments to feed a Symbol wireless switch's fault events into a central NMS/trap receiver, with administrators tuning per-trap and per-module enable flags to control alert volume. Engineers can download the WS-TRAP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An administrator would enable the per-trap 'Enable' truth-value flags for the modules of interest (e.g. RF or system health) and use the module-level doActionNow variables to bulk-enable or disable an entire group of traps at once rather than toggling each individually. When a monitored condition fires — such as an AP going offline or a hardware fault on the switch — the corresponding trap would be forwarded to the NMS, prioritized by the global trap enable flag governing whether any traps fire at all. This bulk enable/disable model lets an operator quickly silence noisy trap groups (e.g. during maintenance) without hunting down individual trap objects. No specific trap object names beyond the enable-flag/doActionNow structure were available in the source data for this module.
