Message format string

Request PDU failed authentication for $subject$, from IP $sourceUDP$

Cause

An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the SNMP entity has received a protocol message that is not properly authenticated. While all implementations of SNMP entities MAY be capable of generating this trap, the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object indicates whether this trap will be generated.

Effect

The offending PDU is ignored. The requester will time out waiting for a response.

Recovery

If the PDU was from a legitimate requester, then 1) configure the requester to use correct authentication, privacy, MP method, etc. 2) configure the agent to have corresponding access If the PDU was not from a legitimate requester, then use the printed IP address to find the source of the PDU and deal with it appropriately.

Default severity

Message format string

SNMP agent cold start

Cause

The SNMP agent was started. The coldStart trap signifies that the SNMP entity, supporting a notification originator application, is reinitializing itself and that its configuration may have been altered.

Effect

The system will respond to SNMP requests. The system will send SNMP notifications. Applications will notice counter discontinuities. System configuration may have been altered.

Recovery

To recover from counter discontinuities, re-poll relevant counters to establish a new baseline. Re-poll relevant objects to discover present configuration.

An RMON alarm entry crossed its falling threshold and generated an event that is configured for sending SNMP traps.

SNMP notification prefix and OID

SNMPv2-MIB.snmpTraps.3

Default severity

warning

Source stream

main

Message format string

Interface $subject$ is not operational

Cause

A linkDown trap signifies that the SNMP entity, acting in an agent role, has detected that the ifOperStatus object for one of its communication links is about to enter the down state from some other state (but not from the notPresent state). This other state is indicated by the included value of ifOperStatus.

Effect

The indicated interface is taken down.

Recovery

If the ifAdminStatus is 'down' then the interface state is deliberate and there is no recovery. If the ifAdminStatus is 'up' then try to determine that cause of the interface going down: cable cut, distal end went down, etc.

Message format string

Interface $subject$ is operational

Cause

A linkUp trap signifies that the SNMP entity, acting in an agent role, has detected that the ifOperStatus object for one of its communication links left the down state and transitioned into some other state (but not into the notPresent state). This other state is indicated by the included value of ifOperStatus.

Effect

The indicated interface is brought up.

Recovery

There is no recovery.

Message format string

SNMP agent warm start

Cause

The SNMP agent was re-started. A warmStart trap signifies that the SNMP entity, supporting a notification originator application, is reinitializing itself such that its configuration is unaltered.

Effect

The system will respond to SNMP requests. The system will send SNMP notifications. Applications will notice counter discontinuities. System configuration has not been altered.

Recovery

To recover from counter discontinuities, re-poll relevant counters to establish a new baseline. There is no need to re-poll relevant objects to discover present configuration.
