A DIR/TITLE=TRAP will uncover a plethora of notes related to traps.

    
    
    TO .1
    
    Thank you.
    I've found a MARCH 94' table describing TRAPS/AGENTS... But NO
    related-firwmre VERSIONS... 
    Have you got any information about the last FIRMWAREs versions 
    (that are available currently on EASYnet and that I've copied recently) 
    and TRAPs current capabilities ?
    
    Regards,
    Renato
    
    

I've attached the latest list.  This list of for the latest firmware.
We don't keep such a list for previous versions.

A couple more things:

1)  Please elaborate on:

>    Because DEChub & modules related SNMP agents are very poor in term of
>    asynchronous SNMP traps sending capabilities, my Customers are often
>    disappointed when they discover the "reality" of SNMP worlds...

2)  Be aware that RMON Alarms and Events will be on the next version of
    the Hub Manager (MAM).  Using RMON A&E you can set up 20 alarms which
    cause traps to be sent.  HUBwatch will support RMON A&E in a future
    release (i.e. not the next one).

	This is confusing me, doesn't it means that through RMON, a manager will
be warned that a power supply went down, that one line of is bridge is in broken
state, that one is change from backup to forwarding that a backup repeater is
now in operation, that a security intrusion occurs on a port etc, etc.. ?

You're only a little confused.

Yes, RMON Alarms and Events can solve all the issues you mention.  
We're planning on putting RMON A&E on many of our products.  (Sorry, I won't
give you a list.  Sorry, I won't provide schedule information.)
 
RMON on the MAM will solve some things, like the power supply insertion/
removal.  RMON Alarms and Events will be on the next version of the MAM.

When we put RMON A&E on the bridges, the bridges can alarm when a line on
the bridge is broken or when a spanning tree change occurs.

When we put RMON A&E on repeaters, the repeaters can alarm when a redundant
link kicks in or when a security intrusion occurs on a port.

etc, etc....

Right now, the objects being monitored using RMON A&E must be contained
within the MIB of the product.  In other words, the MAM's RMON A&E is
not capable of polling bridges for spanning tree changes.

Just for the sake of completeness, the DECagent 90 also issues Warm Start traps
on a soft reset (e.g. from HUBwatch or the console, current settings reset or
factory reset).  Cold Start traps are issued only at power-up.

...Roger...

    Does the packetprobe90 issue cold and warmstart traps also?
    -Craig

    No, the Frontier code does not support the standard Traps.
